“…In contrast, a deterioration of the effectiveness was reported by Alcalay et al [7], Valpas et al [18], El Toukhy et al [19], and Kjolhede et al [8] for LBC. Burton et al [20] have similar results with increasing follow-up, whereas the open procedure showed no decrease in efficacy after the same time interval.…”

“…There are many studies evaluating TVT and sling methods, but the majority are retrospective observational studies and not randomized controlled trials [18][19][20] . However, there are a few randomized studies comparing TVT with other procedures [21][22][23][24] . AbdelFattah et al [21] have compared TVT with pelvicol pubovaginal sling in 142 patients and reported equal success rates (90%) in the 3-year follow-up for both, but one main criticism of the study was the subjective assessment of the success rate from a questionnaire answered by patients.…”

Valpas et al [22] compared TVT with laparoscopic mesh colposuspension and reported success rates of 85.7 and 56.9%, respectively, using an objective 24-hour pad test. However, the follow-up was only 1 year and the surgery was performed in 6 medical centers by different surgeons in contrast to 1 surgeon in this study.…”

Objectives: To compare two different procedures, tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and autologous rectus fascia sling, according to their medium-term subjective and objective outcomes and satisfaction rates in the treatment of urinary stress incontinence in women. Subjects and Methods: One hundred women with type II urinary stress incontinence were randomized to be treated with either TVT or autologous rectus fascia sling. They were evaluated by means of a cough-induced stress test, 1-hour pad test, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ), and urodynamic study. They were reevaluated postoperatively every 6 months, and the collected data of more than 1 year’s follow-up were compared with preoperative assessments. Results: All patients completed the full 6-month postoperative assessment. However, of the 100 patients, only 61 (25 in the TVT and 36 in the sling group) were followed for more than 1 year. Mean follow-up time was 38.5 and 40 months in the TVT and sling group, respectively. Objective cure was achieved in 22 (88%) of the TVT group and in 30 (83%) of the sling group (p = 0.78) using a cough-induced stress test, and in 76 and 75% of the women in the TVT versus sling group (p = 0.83), respectively, using a 1-hour pad test. Postoperative mean IIQ scores were 44.3 (range 35.5–61.5) and 48.5 (range 38.5–69.7) in the TVT versus sling group (p = 0.46). Five (20%) and 11 (30%) of the TVT and sling group, respectively, reported some changes in the voiding pattern or posture at more than 1 year’s follow-up. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the TVT and autologous rectus fascia sling procedures in the treatment of urinary stress incontinence at medium-term follow-up. There were changes in the voiding pattern for patients in both groups at more than 1 year postoperatively, which were not evident at early follow-up.

“…Numerous randomized clinical trials [1][2][3][4][5] have shown the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) to be equally or more efficacious than traditional surgical procedures for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Many feel that these trials, the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, and its favorable long-term objective success [6] have established TVT as a new gold standard in the treatment of SUI.…”

Incontinence-related quality of life and sexual function following the tension-free vaginal tape versus the “inside–out” tension-free vaginal tape obturator

et al. 2007

The objective of this cohort study was to compare morbidity, quality of life, and sexual function in stress-incontinent women treated with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) in a group of 329. Preoperative scores of the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were compared to those from a mailed, postoperative questionnaire. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and three additional questions were also included in the mailing. Of the initial 329 patients, 239 (73%) completed the questionnaire with a mean follow-up of 14.7 months. Complications, return to normal voiding, and operative time were less in the TVT-O group. Postoperative PISQ-12 scores and improvements in the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 were comparable between groups. The TVT-O procedure appears to be as effective in improving incontinence-related quality of life as the TVT. No differences in sexual function were demonstrated between groups.
