normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of an innovative, minimally invasive sling technique with autologous tissue in women with concomitant incontinence and anterior vaginal wall prolapse (avwp). materials and methods: fifty-six women with stress urinary incontinence (sui) or mixed urinary incontinence and avwp were randomly a...

Quality of life is adversely affected by pelvic organ prolapse, the prevalence of which is increasing because of the persistently growing older population. Today, the tension-free vaginal mesh kit has grown in popularity owing to its comparable cure rate to traditional reconstructive surgery and the feasibility of an early return to normal life. However, significant debate remains over the long...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of cost-effectiveness of new surgical techniques is important. As the data on incontinence procedures are scarce, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape procedure and laparoscopic mesh colposuspension as a primary surgical treatment for female stress urinary incontinence. METHODS In four university teaching hospitals and two central hospitals 12...

objective: this study compared the tension-free vaginal tape (tvt) and transobturator tape (tot) procedures for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. materials and methods: this prospective non randomized clinical trial was conducted in vali-e-asr hospital from march 2001 to march 2005. a total of 71 patients with clinical and urodynamic diagnosis of stress urinary inconti...

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...

OBJECTIVE To identify possible risk factors for exposure, dyspareunia, and pain after insertion of tension-free vaginal mesh in pelvic organ prolapse surgery. METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study. Consecutive women who underwent surgery with a trocar-guided tension-free vaginal mesh kit were included and evaluated at 6 weeks and at 6 and 12 months after surgery with respe...
