“…Calculation of the sample size was based on information on the prevalence of the primary outcome (urinary incontinence) among hysterectomised women -approximately 23% 5,16 . The calculation had a power of 0.80 to detect a significant difference of 5% (two-sided).…”

Objective To compare total abdominal hysterectomy and subtotal abdominal hysterectomy performed for benign uterine diseases. Design Randomised, controlled, unblinded trial with central, computer-generated randomisation.Setting Danish trial performed in 11 departments of gynaecology.Population Women referred for benign uterine diseases were randomised to total abdominal hysterectomy (n ¼ 158) or subtotal abdominal hysterectomy (n ¼ 161). One-year follow up questionnaires had a response rate of 87%. Methods Patients were followed by strict data collection procedures, including postal questionnaires. The results after one year of follow up were analysed by intention-to-treat analyses. Main outcome measures (1) Primary: urinary incontinence and (2) No other clinically important differences were found between the two hysterectomy methods. Conclusions A smaller proportion of women suffered from urinary incontinence after total abdominal hysterectomy than after subtotal abdominal hysterectomy one year post-operatively.

“…Regarding urinary frequency, nocturia and incontinence, a systematic review on urinary function following subtotal abdominal hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy identified five observational studies, three of which, in addition to one randomized, controlled trial showed an increased risk of incontinence after total abdominal hysterectomy (22,(25)(26)(27). The remaining two, in addition to one randomized controlled trial showed no difference (20,28,29).…”

“…Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a widespread problem estimated to affect over 26% of middle-aged women in America and it induces social, sanitary, and psychological problems related to the patients' quality of life (1). Recently, considerable progress has been made toward treatments of SUI stemming from advances in understanding the pathogenesis (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

ARTICLE INFO ______________________________________________________________ ______________________Purpose: To assess the ratio of patients lost to follow-up (FU) after midurethral sling surgery, to evaluate their success rate and current status, and to identify the reasons for FU loss. Materials and Methods: Two-hundred thirty-eight patients who received trans-obturator tape (TOT) surgery were reviewed. For patients lost to FU within 3 months, Stamey's outcome questionnaire and questions regarding the reasons for FU loss were submitted via phone interview. Results: One hundred forty-three (60.1%) patients (FU loss group) were lost to FU within 3 months postoperatively. In the FU loss group, phone interviews were conducted with 117 (81.8%) patients. Aside from the urgency rate (59.3% vs. 72.3%, p=0.049), there were no significant statistical differences in preoperative profiles between two group. The success rate of the FU loss group (80.3%, 94 of 117 patients) was lower than that of the FU group (95.8%, 91 of 95 patients) (p=0.001). The success rates in the FU loss group with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) were significantly lower than in the FU group with MUI. As for the reason for FU loss, 74 patients (62.7%) were lost due to incontinence improvement, 19 patients (16.1%) cited personal problems, and 5 patients forgot the next follow-up date. Only 10 patients gave up further treatment despite their persisting incontinence. Conclusions: In our study, more than half of patients were lost to follow-up after midurethral sling surgery. The FU loss group showed a lower surgical success rate, particularly with MUI. Close FU is recommended for better consultation of patients' incontinence.
