Patient satisfaction after retropubic and transobturator slings: first assessment using the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire (IOQ)

A prospective randomized trial comparing tension-free vaginal tape versus transobturator tape in patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence: subjective cure rate and satisfaction in median follow-up of 46 months

“…However, only a few studies have investigated this matter, with quite short follow-ups; some results favour TVT while equal results with both treatments have been observed in others [7,8].…”

Reoperation for urinary incontinence: a nationwide cohort study, 1998–2007

“…This could pose a selection bias and hence explain the higher risk of reoperation among women with transobturator tape. 9 However, after adjusting for age, the risk of reoperation was unaltered, suggesting that the risk is mainly due to factors other than age.…”

“…8 Nevertheless, a few studies have shown a significantly higher risk of reoperation after transobturator tape compared with retropubic midurethral tape. [9][10][11] The primary objective of this study was to describe the 5 year incidence of reoperation after different surgical procedures for UI based on a nationwide population.…”

Twelve months effect on voiding function of retropubic compared with outside-in and inside-out transobturator midurethral slings

“…A recent meta-analysis showed evidence for equivalent effectiveness of TOT and TVT-O [23]. In the long-term, recurrent incontinence could be higher after TOT [24].…”
