¿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.

A control study on the clinical outcome of tension-free vaginal tape-obturator and modified tension-free vaginal tape-obturator for female stress urinary incontinence / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT:Objective To evaluate the curative effect of tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O)and modified TVT-O in treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods We selected 1 1 3 female patients diagnosed with SUI from January to December 2013 in our department and divided them into standard TVT-O group (group A,5 6 cases)and modified TVT-O group (group B,5 7 cases).We evaluated prospectively the safety,short-term efficacy and complications of operation in the two groups.Results The length from bilateral obturator membrane to the puncture point in the skin was greater in group A than in group B.The average intraoperative blood loss was more in group A than in group B.The median NRS score of postoperatie thigh pain in group A was higher than in group B (P0.05).Conclusion Both TVT-O and modified TVT-O techniques are effective in treating female SUI.Modified TVT-O has a short path to get through the adductor muscles and less intraoperative blood loss;therefore,it can significantly reduce the complications such as postoperative pain to enhance the quality of life after operation.

A comparative study of two transobturator tape procedures: 'Outside-in' (TOT) and 'inside-out' (TVT-O) for surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence / 대한산부인과학회지

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of the 'outside-in' (TOT) and 'inside-out' (TVT-O) transobturator tape procedures for surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence. METHODS: We enrolled 320 stress urinary incontinence women who could be followed-up and they underwent the TOT procedure (N=184) and TVT-O procedure (N=136) from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2006. The preoperative evaluation included a history taking, physical examination, residual urine check, pad test, Q-tip test and urodynamic test. And we investigated the patients' characteristics, success rates, operation times, concomitant surgeries, hospital days, hemoglobin changes and complications. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in patients' characteristics and urodynamic tests except the intrinsic sphincter deficiency rate (ISD: 5.6% vs. 30.6%, p=0.000). The success rates were similar in both groups (98.4% vs. 97.8%). Most common complication of TOT group is operation site erosion (2.1%), and TVT-O group is thigh or vaginal pain (3.6%). There were noted other complications, such as postoperative urinary retention, de novo urgency and urinary tract infection. Total complication rates of both groups were not statistically different (7.6% vs. 9.5%, p=0.415). There were no statistic differences in the postoperative complication rates of between only TOT group and TOT with colporrhaphy group (p=0.371), also between only TVT-O group and TVT-O with colporrhaphy group (p=0.692). There were no correlation with ISD and postoperative complications in TOT (p=0.373) and TVT-O group (p=0.082). CONCLUSIONS: The two procedures of transobturator tape procedure for female stress urinary incontinence appear to be equally effective and safe. However, long-term follow-up, surgeons' learning course, skill and experience for transobturator tape procedures should be evaluated at further studies.

Impact of the Tension Adjustment of the mesh by using Babcock Clamp during Tension-Free Vaginal Tape Obturator Procedure on the Postoperative Voiding Pattern and Satisfaction

PURPOSE: To guarantee the proper tension of the tape, we have adopted standardized methods by using Babcock clamp. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of 118 women who underwent Tension-Free Vaginal Tape Obturator (TVTO) prucedure were retrospectively reviewed. Tension of the tape was controlled either by holding the 1 cm length of the mesh with Babcock clamp in 72 cases (Group I), or by placing Metzenbaum scissor between the tape and the urethra in 46 cases (Group II) before pulling on the tape. The preoperative evaluations included symptom questionnaire, history taking, physical examination, one hour pad test and complete multichannel urodynamic study. Postoperatively, uroflowmetry, postvoiding residual urine volume and symptom questionnaire were repeated. RESULTS: The success rates of the operation were not different between groups. However, postoperative complication rates, including persistent pain and de novo urgency, in the Group II (n=9, 19.6%) was higher than in Group I (n=6, 8.3%). The rate of postoperative transient urinary retention was also higher in Group II (p<0.05). The rate of the patients who answered [satisfied] were significantly high in Group I (95.8%) compared to Group II (80.4%). CONCLUSIONS: By using the Babcock clamp technique, the complications can be minimized, and satisfaction increased. Our findings suggest that this technique does assure the proper tension for the normal voiding postoperatively.

Clinical Outcome of Tension-free Transobturator Suburethral Tape (inside-out TVT-O) Procedure for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence: The Two Years Follow-up

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcome, patient's satisfaction and complications of inside-out tension-free transobturator suburethral tape (inside-out TVT-O) procedure for the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence during the follow-up 2 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From August 2004 to August 2006, 86 women with stress urinary incontinence underwent inside-out TVT-O procedures. We analyzed parameters incuding history taking, physical examination and urodynamic study. Postoperative clinical outcome, patient's satisfaction, complications and success rates for Stamey grade were evaluated after 12 months and 24 months. RESULTS: The success rates were 97.6% (cured 90.7%, improved 6.9%) and 97.6% (cured 88%, improved 9.6%) at 1 and 2 years follow-up. The satisfaction rates were 95.2% at 1 year and 91.6% at 2 years. There was no significant difference of success rate between pure stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence (p>0.05). There were no serious or long-term complications related to the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: We considered that inside-out TVT-O procedure was a safe and effective procedure for female stress urinary incontinence for 2 years, although longer follow-up is necessary to determine long-term effect.
