Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is being treated successfully with placement of tension-free vaginal tape.The use of synthetic mesh in renal transplant patients is rarely reported. No case of surgical treatment of SUI in a renal transplant patient using transobturator suburethral tape is listed on MEDLINE. The transobturator tape technique is a minimally invasive procedure that avoids ...

SETTING The urogynaecology unit of a university teaching hospital in Hong Kong. PATIENTS All women with stage III or more pelvic organ prolapse who underwent tension-free vaginal mesh repair with or without vaginal hysterecto...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of novel modifications on tension- free vaginal tape (TVT) for the treatment of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen female patients (average age 49.29 years, range: 31-78) who underwent anti-incontinence surgery to correct their SUI in the period between June 2010 and August 2014 were included in the study.

OBJECTIVES Tension-free vaginal tape has gained large popularity owing to the ease of the procedure and its effectiveness. These procedures were initially thought to rarely involve any significant morbid complications. The transobturator tape (TOT) procedure reproduces the natural suspension similar to the tension-free vaginal tape with a reduction in potential bladder, bowel, and vascular comp...

PURPOSE Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures are used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. The procedures with synthetic materials can have a risk of vaginal erosion. We experienced transobturator suburethral sling (TOT) tape-induced vaginal erosion and report the efficacy of a vaginal mucosal covering technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 560 female patients...
