Abstract: Urinary incontinence is a common condition affecting 20 to 40% of older women. Sufferers tend to become social recluses, not wanting to socialize for fear of embarrassment and ridicule. Tension-free vaginal tapes have revolutionized the treatment of female Stress urinary incontinence. The aims of this prospective observational study were to determine efficacy and post operative complications of Tension free vaginal tape –Obturator (TVT-O) after minimum one year follow up. Between March 1st 2006 and January 1st 2009, 30 patients with clinical diagnosis of moderate to sever SUI and mixed with predominant Stress incontinence who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria underwent TVT-O Procedure. Preoperative and post operative evaluation included physical examination, post void residual measurement, post operative complications, severity of urinary stress incontinence, and quality of life questionnaires (QoL). 50% of women were menopause, their mean age was 52±11!
.105 year, their mean body weight was 81.066±13.59 kg, and their mean parity was 5.53±2.58. Three cases had anterior vaginal wall prolapse (grade 2 and 3 cystocel), anterior colporrhaphy was done for them before TVT-O procedure. No significant intra and post operative complications were observed. One year minimum follow up revealed a highly significant difference between pre and post operative stress incontinence severity grades and QoL scale scores (P value <0.001). The TVT-O procedure is a safe and efficient treatment of female SUI, with a high cure rate after a minimum one year follow up and a low post-operative complications and no risk to intra-abdominal organ injury. .
