ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcome, according to the body mass index (BMI), of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Women were classified as being of normal weight (BMI 20-25), overweight (BMI 26-30) or obese (BMI>30). The patients characteristics and clinical outcomes of the operation were analyzed according to the BMI.RESULTS:
There were no significant differences in the patients characteristics, with the exception of the pre-operative posterior urethrovesical angle (PUVA). The subjective cure rate, satisfaction rate and complications of the normal BMI patients did not significantly differ from the women with the high BMI.CONCLUSIONS:
The TVT procedure in stress urinary incontinence patient's results in similar subjective cure rates, satisfaction rates and post-operative complications, irrespective of the BMI, which makes it safe for overweight and obese women, and would appear to be an adequate treatment for future use.
