“…However, adverse effects include voiding dysfunction in up to 60% of patients [5], tape release being performed in up to 8% of the cases (2). As far as we know, this is the first time that an adjustable regular mesh has been described that allows postoperative adjustment of the tension applied during surgery, enabling us to correct any persisting stress incontinence and to avoid obstruction [14].…”

After transvaginal adjustable tape, approximately 15% of patients still suffer incontinence, and voiding dysfunction is present in a relatively important number of patients. Transvaginal adjustable tape (TVA) permits postoperative readjustment of tension, suggesting that better results could be obtained. Sixty-four incontinent women received TVA. Patients were monitored 1, 6, and 12 months post-surgery and annually thereafter by medical history, cough stress test, flowmetry and post-void residual test (PVR), incontinence quality of life, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, and Patient Global Impressions of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaires. After adjustment, all patients rendered continent, and none had PVR. On no occasion was vesical catheterization or uretholysis necessary. Mean follow-up was 40+/-12.9 months. Objective and subjective cure rate were 94% and 56%, respectively. Qmax was 22.3+/-9.9 ml/s. The PGI-I questionnaire showed 94% of patients to be better or very much better than before. Our data suggest that with TVA tape, better results can be obtained, furthermore, without increasing surgical complications.
