Transobturator Tape (TOT) in Management of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transobtorator tape (TOT) is a minimally invasive procedure that gained increased popularity in the surgical field for management of patients with stress urinary incontinence . The use of TOT had significantly simplified the surgical procedure and made it safer. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TOT procedure in women with SUI PATIENTS AND METHOD Thirty female patient are complaining of urinary incontinence presented at urology department of Ghazi Al-Hariri surgical specialties hospital from January 2012-Oct. 2013 were enrolled in this study. All of our patients are with pure SUI. The procedure was done under spinal anesthesia. TOT require placement of macroporous polypropylene tape at the mid urethra through the obturator membrane with minimal vaginal incision. The patients were followed up before discharge, 1 month and six month using cough test. RESULTS Mean patients age is 48.2 year (range 30-60 year) with a mean parity of 5(range from 3-7 child). The mean operating time is 26.5 minutes (ranging from 20-30 minutes). Intraoperative complications occur in 6 patients (20%), include hemorrhage in 5 patients, hematoma in one patient. The total incidence of postoperative complication was 36%, transient thigh pain occurred in seven patients, two patients got retention, two patients got de novo urgency. The objective cure rate was 93.3% CONCLUSION The TOT procedure is a safe and effective technique for the management of patient complaining of SUI.References
