PURPOSE Mid urethral slings are becoming the first line surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women. We reviewed the complications of mid urethral sling placement and their potential pathophysiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a literature search on MEDLINE from 1995 to 2007 using the key words sling, complications, mid-urethral slings, transvaginal tape, transobturato...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the short and long term results of tapes of different materials used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A secondary objective was to evaluate the ability to adjust the tape after implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective chart review of 355 patients with SUI operated between March 2003 and October 2011. Eight different types of transobturator tapes were ...

UNLABELLED Bulbourethral transobturator sling data from other investigators report a success rate from 53% to 85%. Since the degree of sling tension and its adjustment seems to be important for achieving complete urinary continence we present results on the first consecutive 12 patients, with mild post prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence--defined as--less than 500 ml, who underwent a new ...

[Purpose] Many assumptions have been made about taping and several studies have considered tape application methods; however, the true effect of taping on muscle strength remains unclear. Most previous studies compared application techniques using Kinesio tape (KT), but studies that compared muscle strength using non-elastic tape (NT) are limited. Moreover, no studies have applied KT and NT in ...

OBJECTIVE To provide an update on currently used minimally invasive surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence in women: tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure, transobturator tape (TOT) procedure, and other midurethral sling devices. OPTIONS The discussion is limited to minimally invasive surgical management of stress urinary incontinence in women. EVIDENCE A search of PubMed a...

PURPOSE The transobturator adjustable tape (TOA) sling operation is a new procedure that allows for the adjustment of tension after surgical intervention, thus permitting correction of postoperative incontinence or obstruction. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of TOA with that of the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2008 and 2009, ...

Objective. It is to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transobturator tension-free vaginal mesh (Prolift) and concomitant tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) system as a treatment of female anterior vaginal wall prolapse associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Patients and Methods. Between December 2006 and July 2007, 20 patients with anterior genital prolap...

INTRODUCTION This study is a comparative evaluation of the TVT, TOT, and our own modification of TOT (mTOT) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence from a single center experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted on 527 patients with SUI diagnosed on the basis of urodynamic studies. They were divided into three groups--TVT: n=142, (TOT): n=129, and mTOT: n=256.
