la incontinencia urinaria (IU), se define por la Sociedad Internacional de Continencia, como la perdida involuntaria de orina, una condición potencialmente tratable con disminución de la calidad de vida de las mujeres en diferentes aspectos, entre ellos la salud sexual con su pareja y su bienestar social. Se han descrito que solo el 44,9 % de las mujeres consultan, teniendo mayores tasas de depresión y ansiedad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la aparición de complicaciones intraoperatorias y posoperatorias con la realización de cintas transobturadora y retropúbica en el Hospital Militar Central en Bogotá durante el periodo 2015 al 2020. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo de corte longitudinal, en el Hospital Militar Central en Bogotá; se incluyeron todas las pacientes con diagnósticos de incontinencia urinaria, tanto de esfuerzo, como de urgencias y/o mixtas, intervenidas con cintas medios uretrales libres de tensión por vía retropúbica o transobturadora. Las complicaciones posteriores al procedimiento quirúrgico la más prevalente fue el dolor con un 96,8 %, seguida de infección urinaria o expulsión de la banda con un 8,6 %; entre otras complicaciones menos frecuentes como hematomas, dispareunia y abscesos. La mayoría de las pacientes obtuvieron una adecuada respuesta clínica en el postoperatorio, el 77 % no requirió ningún manejo adicional. Las cintas mediouretrales, proporcionan un buen resultado con una baja incidencia de complicaciones quirúrgicas y recidiva, con mejoría de la calidad de vida de la paciente frente a su patología de incontinencia urinaria.

The International Continence Society defines urinary incontinence (UI) as the involuntary loss of urine, a potentially treatable condition with a decrease in the quality of life of women in different aspects, including sexual health with their partner and their social well-being. It has been described that only 44.9% of women consult, having higher rates of depression and anxiety. The objective of this research was to determine the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications with the performance of transobturator and retropubic taping at the Central Military Hospital in Bogota during the period 2015 to 2020. An observational, descriptive, retrospective, retrospective. All patients with diagnoses of urinary incontinence, both stress, emergency, and/or mixed, operated with tension-free mid-urethral tapes by retropubic or transobturator route were included. The most prevalent complications after the surgical procedure were pain (96.8 %), followed by urinary tract infection or expulsion of the band (8.6 %), among other less frequent complications such as hematomas, dyspareunia, and abscesses. Most patients obtained an adequate clinical response in the postoperative period, 77 % did not require additional management. Mediourethral tapes provide a good result with a low incidence of surgical complications and recurrence, improving the patient's quality of life concerning her urinary incontinence pathology.

Closed loop small bowel obstruction due to mid urethral sling mesh

Closed loop small bowel obstruction is a surgical emergency, which when left untreated leads to vascular compromise resulting in intestinal ischemia, necrosis and perforation. We report the case of a 61 years old female with past surgical history of hysterectomy and a mid-urethral sling, who presented to the emergency department for abdominal pain and obstipation. She was found on imaging to have a closed loop small bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy revealed an adhesive band encompassing the distal terminal ileum, visceral peritoneum and the Mid‐urethral slings mesh. This is a rare complication that, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the surgical literature. This paper will discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic studies, therapeutic intervention and outcome of this unique case.

Histocompatibility of an original Chinese-made mid-urethral sling in a rabbit model / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective To evaluate the histocompatibility of an original Chinese-made mid-urethral sling (Repelvica mid-urethral sling). Methods In total 10 female New Zealand white rabbits were implanted with Repelvica mid-urethral sling or tension-free vaginal tape-obturator tape (TVT-O;Gynecare). Both brands of sling were implanted under deep fascia of the abdominal wall and in the space between vagina and bladder. All animal groups were sacrificed at set time intervals (4 weeks and 12 weeks), and the abdominal and vaginal slings were harvested for histological evaluation. Results All slings appeared to be well incorporated into the abdominal wall and anterior vaginal wall. All specimens showed a thin, loose, fibrous interface between the synthetic graft and abdominal wall or vaginal wall, along with mild inflammatory reaction from 4 weeks to 12 weeks. Abdominal grafts of Repelvica mid-urethral sling and TVT-O induced comparable tissue reaction (histological score 10.5 versus 10.5 at 4 weeks, 10.0 versus 9.5 at 12 weeks; both P>0.05). Vaginal grafts of Repelvica mid-urethral sling had lower histological score than TVT-O (histological score 6.0 versus 12.0 at 4 weeks, 8.5 versus 12.5 at 12 weeks), however the differences were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Conclusions Chinese-made Repelvica mid-urethral sling exhibits good histocompatibility. Vaginal graft of Repelvica mid-urethral sling evoks minor tissue reaction,which could be attributed to its lightweighted property and favored its clinical application.

Incidence of vaginal erosion with different synthetic materials for suburethral sling in the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence: A systematic review

The aim of this systematic review is to compare the vaginalerosion rates in different synthetic materials used insuburethral slings in Tension Free Vaginal Tape (TVT-O/TOT) procedures in management of female stress urinaryincontinence.Methods: PRISMA 2009 framework was adopted for studydesign. Scholarly literature search was done usingMEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov using selected keywords. Five articles fulfilled theinclusion and exclusion criteria. Our main outcome ofinterest is to review the ideal properties of the suburethralsling, procedure of insertion and post-surgical complicationfollowing the sling insertion primarily vaginal erosion.Results were compared using one way-ANOVA test andindependent T- test.Results: Total of 1725 subjects were available for analysisin the five studies. Monofilament polypropylene constituted92.5% of the total sample size from one study alone.Polyester (n= 16/51) causes higher incidence rate of vaginalerosion compared to monofilament polypropylene (31.4 vs.,4.7; p = 0.01). There was no difference in the vaginal erosionrate between monofilament polypropylene and multifilamentpolypropylene (4.7 vs, 14.1; p=0.055) as well as betweenmultifilament polypropylene and polyester (14.1 vs, 31.4;p=0.068). Although there was a marginally lower rate ofvaginal erosion in TVT-O over TVT, the difference was notsignificant. (5.6 vs., 6.4, p=0.468). Common presentations ofvaginal erosion were vaginal discharge, perineal pain anddyspareunia. Conclusion: Given the limited sample size, polyester slingmaterial appears to cause higher rates of vaginal erosion.No difference in erosion rate was seen between TVT andTVT-O.

¿Existen diferencias entre la vía transobturadora y retropúbica en la resolución de la incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo? / Are there differences between transobturator and retropubic sling in the resolution of stress urinary incontinence?

PROPÓSITO: Comparar la eficacia y complicaciones de la vía retropúbica (TVT o RP) y la vía transobturadora (TVT-O) en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo (IOE). MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con diagnóstico de IOE operadas entre Julio 2004 y Julio 2014 en el Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile. Se evaluaron los datos demográficos, antecedentes médicos, síntomas y examen físico tanto preoperatorio como post operatorio y seguimiento post quirúrgico. RESULTADOS: De un total de 715, se analizaron los datos de 383 pacientes operada durante la fecha. 59,7% (n= 229) fueron sometidas a TVT-O y 40,3% (n=154) a TVT. Un 4,8% (n=11) de las pacientes en que se realizó cinta transobturadora tenían antecedente de cirugía previa de incontinencia versus un 14,29% (n=22) de las pacientes en que se realizó cinta retropúbica (P 0,006). Los datos post operatorios fueron ajustados según el dato anterior. En el seguimiento post operatorio se presentaron diferencias significativas en la disfunción del vaciamiento vesical [OR 0,28, (95%IC 0,10-0,74), p = 0,011]; y en el dolor inguinal post operatorio [OR 0,19 (95%IC 0,06-0,56), p = 0,003); siendo ambos más frecuentes en el grupo transobturador. No hubo diferencias significativas en el éxito subjetivo de la resolución de la IOE así como en otro tipo de complicaciones postoperatorias. CONCLUSIONES: Si bien ambas técnicas presentan tasas similares de éxito subjetivo en la resolución de la IOE, en nuestra experiencia, la vía transobturadora presenta mayor riesgo de disfunción del vaciamiento vesical y dolor inguinal postoperatorio.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and complications of the retropubic sling (TVT or RP) and the transobturator sling (TVT-O or TOT) for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: Retrospective study including patients diagnosed with SUI who had surgery between July 2004 and July 2014 at the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile. Demographics, medical history, symptoms and physical examination (preoperative, postoperative and post-surgical follow-up) were evaluated. RESULTS: From a total of 715 operated during this period, the data from 383 patients was analyzed. 59.7% (n = 229) were submitted to TVT-O and 40.3% (n = 154) to TVT. 4.8% (n = 11) of patients in the transobturator sling group had previously had an incontinence surgery versus 14.29% (n = 22) of patients that had a retropubic sling (P 0.006). The postoperative data was adjusted according to this data. At the postoperative follow-up there were significant differences in bladder emptying dysfunction [OR 0.28 (95% CI 0.10 to 0.74), p = 0.011]; and postoperative groin pain [OR 0.19 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.56), p = 0.003); both being more frequent in the transobturator group. There were no significant differences in subjective success of the resolution of the SUI as well as other postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Although both techniques have similar rates of subjective success in solving the SUI, in our experience, the transobturator approach has increased risk of bladder emptying dysfunction and postoperative groin pain.

Analysis of outcomes of tension-free mid-urethral sling procedure in women with mixed urinary incontinence / 北京大学学报(医学版)

Objective: To evaluate the medium and long term outcomes of tension-free mid-urethral sling in the treatment of female patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).Methods: Twenty-six patients who underwent the tension-free mid-urethral sling procedure for MUI from April, 2010 to September, 2016, were followed up.Four of the 26 patients underwent retropubic tension free mid-urethral sling (TVT), and 22 of them underwent transurethral middle obturator sling (TOT).Scales were used in the follow-up, such as urinary incontinence severity score (UISS), detrusor instability score (DIS), incontinence quality of life scale evaluation (I-QOL), Urogenital Distress Inventory short form (UDI-6), and the outcomes before and after the procedure were compared.Results: The mean age was 62 years, with a range of 42-80 years.The mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.82 kg/m2, with a range of 21.48-31.14 kg/m2.The mean follow-up time was 26 months, with a range of 8-69 months.Twelve patients never took M-blockers and the rest 14 patients took M-blockers within two weeks.None of the pa-tients had complications, including dysuria, injury of bladder, urethra, obturator vessel or nerve during the surgery.After pulling out the catheter, no one suffered moderate or severe pain or difficulty of urination.The overall cure rate for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was 96.15% with 25 patients cured, and for urge urinary incontinence (UUI) was 76.92% with 20 patients cured.The patients'' life quality also improved significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion: Ten of the 26 patients showed an overactive bladder according to urodynamic study, from whom all of the six failed patient were.And 16 patients didn''t show an overactive bladder, which may due to two reasons.One is that their sense of urge is not so serious, the other one is that their sense of urge is from urethra.Proximal urethra is full of nerve, which plays a role in sense and urine control.The sense of urge may come from urethra instead of bladder.Tension-free mid-urethral sling procedure is an effective treatment for women with mixed urinary incontinence.Even without taking the M-blockers, the cure rate for urge incontinence reached 76.92%.The efficacy of surgery remained stable in medium and long term, and the patients'' quality of life improved significantly.

An modified vaginal mesh procedure for the female persistent or recurrent stress urinary incontinence after initial synthetic mid-urethral slings operation / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new complementary midurethral sling surgery in treating recurrent or persist female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after primary Synthetic mid-urethral slings (MUSs).Methods The methods was used in 32 patients who had suffered recurrent or persist SUI patients after primary MUSs during June 2005 and July 2011.Their primary MUSs were:TVT 2 cases,IVS 4 cases,TVT-O 17 cases,TOT 3 cases,T-sling 1case,other MUSs 5 cases.9 cases complained SUI symptoms continued after primary surgery and had no improvement after 6 months following up.23 cases reported SUI symptoms recurrent and aggravated in 6 months after primary operation and had no improvement 1 year after operation.All these patients have been treated with surgery,a trans-vaginal mid-urethral sling on descending pubic ramus.In this study we followed up these patients for one year after this complementary operation and evaluated operating time,blood loss,efficacy and complications.Results In this study the operating time was 41.1±13.1 minutes,blood loss was 70.6±23.8 ml.30 patients kept urinary catheter 6 h after operation and 2 kept urinary catheter 48 h after operation.All patients could micturate after removed urinary catheter and average residual urine was 23.8 ± 21.4 ml (range 0-80 ml).The average in-patients duration was 4.8± 1.1days.SUI symptoms still persisted in two patients after second operation,subjective cure was achieved in 26 patients and the symptoms obviously improved in 4 patients when they left hospital.The efficient rate was 93.8％ (30/32) left hospital and after 3 months,93.3％ (28/30) after 6 months and 86.2％ (25/29) after 1 year.There were 2 cases of recurrence and 1 case of mesh erosion after 1 year,no other operative complications were reported.Conclusions Our study found that it is a efficient operation to treat SUI recur or persist after primary.

Objetivos: Evaluar nuestros resultados en la corrección de la incontinencia de orina de esfuerzo (IOE) con una técnica de cinta suburetral transobturatriz modificada (TOTm) con malla desnuda de polipropileno y anestesia local, midiendo efectividad, calidad de vida y grado de satisfacción por 3 años de seguimiento. Método: Evaluación prospectiva de 56 pacientes operadas entre los años 2003 y 2005, con IOE moderada o severa, según diagnóstico por clínica y cistometría simple. Se logró realizar un seguimiento del 87 por ciento de las pacientes, por 37,9 meses (19-51 meses). Se realizó control con examen físico y se aplicó una encuesta de satisfacción en visita domiciliaria por un grupo independiente de encuestadores. Resultados: Un 88 por ciento de las pacientes se encuentra sin IOE en el examen físico. A la encuesta de satisfacción, las pacientes manifestaron sentirse mejor o mucho mejor en frecuencia miccional diurna (79 por ciento), disfunción del vaciamiento vesical (69 por ciento), dolor pelviano (58 por ciento), urgeincontinencia (84 por ciento) y función sexual (53 por ciento). Un 90 por ciento manifiesta sentirse mejor o mucho mejor de la IOE que antes de la operación. La urgencia o urgeincontinencia de novo apareció en un 6 por ciento. Conclusiones: La técnica TOTm utilizada por nuestro grupo tiene resultados comparables con las técnicas TOT originales, con mejoría significativa en la calidad de vida de las pacientes.

Objective: To review our results in the correction of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with a modified TOT technique using polypropylene mesh and local anesthesia, measuring effectiveness, quality of life and degree of satisfaction during 3 years of follow-up. Method: Prospective evaluation of 56 patients operated between 2003 and 2005, with modérate or severe SUI, or mixed urinary incontinence with effort predominance, according to clinical diagnosis and simple cystometry. A follow-up of 87 percent of the patients over a period of 37.9 months (19-51 months) was achieved. A physical examination was realized and a survey of satisfaction was applied by a team of independent interviewers on home visits. Results: On physical examination, 88 percent of patients are without SUI. In the survey of satisfaction, the patients manifested feeling better or much better in terms of daytime voiding frequency (79 percent), voiding dysfunction (69 percent), groin pain (58 percent), urge incontinence (84 percent) and sexual function (53 percent); 90 percent manifested feeling better or much better about their SUI than before the operation. De novo urgency or urge incontinence appeared in 6 percent. Conclusions: The modified TOT technique used by our group obtains results that are comparable to those of the original TOT techniques, with a significant improvement in the quality of life of patients.
