The Rate of Mesh Erosion after Modified Transobturator Tape (Canal Transobturator Tape) Surgery: Analysis of 5 years’ Outcome and Influencing Factors

Abstract: <b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To evaluate the long-term cure and complication rates of the canal transobturator tape (TOT) procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in females and assess how to reduce mesh erosion in TOT surgery. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> The canal TOT procedure was developed in 2009 and was effective in mitigating the complications of the original TOT procedure in the short-term follow-up. This study was designed for a long-term follow… Show more

“…However, our findings are from the sixth month after the surgery, and this time interval may not be sufficient for the development of mesh erosion, which is an essential cause of dyspareunia. 29 We think there is a need for long-term studies.…”
