The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications of Transobturator tape (TOT) in the surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence and their management.METHODS:
From March 2005 to October 2007, 206 patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence were operated using TOT at Chonnam National University Hospital. We reviewed medical records and analyzed the data according to age, parity, menopausal state, concomitant operations and complications.RESULTS:
Mean age of the patients was 52.6+/-10.5 years and mean parity was 2.9+/-1.4. 91 patients (44.2%) were in postmenopausal state and 201 patients (97.6%) had other concomitant gynecologic operations. There were no intraoperative complications such as vaginal injury or bladder perforation. Postoperatively, there were 2 cases (1.0%) of vulva hematoma, 6 cases (2.9%) of urinary retention, 4 cases (1.9%) of de novo urgency and 4 cases (1.9%) of vaginal erosion.CONCLUSION:
