ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Purpose:
We aimed to investigate the effects of menopause on long-term outcomes of transobturator tape (TOT) surgery. Materials andMethods:
Patients who underwent TOT surgery were evaluated under two groups as postmenopausal and premenopausal. The International Consultation on Incontinence short-form questionnaire (ICIQ-SF), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form (UDI-6) questionnaires were completed by the patients at the 1st and 5th-year follow-up sessions. Patients with a postoperative UDI-6 and IIQ-7 score of <10 were considered as cured, those with lower postoperative scores compared to the preoperative period were regarded as improved, and the cases that had higher postoperative scores than preoperative values were interpreted as TOT failure. The TOT success rates were compared between the results obtained from UDI-6 and IIQ-7.Results:
A total of 109 patients were included in the study (53 postmenopausal and 56 premenopausal). We contacted with 90 (48 premenopausal and 42 postmenopausal) women at 1st year control and 80 (44 premenopausal and 36 postmenopausal) women at 5th year control. There was a significant improvement in all of three questionnaires between the preoperative and post-operative 1st year control (ICIQ-SF 15.5±2.5 vs. 1.8±4.3, p <0.001; IIQ-7 68.9±9.8 vs. 2.75±15.2, p <0.001; UDI-6 27.1±11.1 vs. 6.0±14.6, p <0.001) and the preoperative and post-operative 5th year control (ICIQ-SF 15.5±2.5 vs. 3.1±5.3, p <0.001; IIQ-7 68.9±9.8 vs. 9.6±26.7, p <0.001; UDI-6 27.1±11.1 vs. 5.1±10.0, p <0.001). When we compared the premenopausal and postmenopausal patients in terms of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI); 5 (12%) patients had recurrent UTI in postmenopausal group but no patients had recurrent UTI in premenopausal group at 1st year follow-up (p=0.039) and similarly the same 5 (13.9%) patients in follow-up had recurrent UTI in postmenopausal group but no patients had recurrent UTI in premenopausal group at 5th year follow-up (p=0.045). There were no significant differences between the premenopausal and postmenopausal patients in terms of TOT success rates at 1st and 5th year control, evaluated with UDI-6 (1st year p=0.198 and 5th year p=0.687) and IIQ-7 (1st year p=0.489 and 5th year p=0.608) questionnaires.Conclusions:
Transobturator tape surgery is an effective and reliable method according to the long-term outcomes reported in this paper. In the current study, we determined that the TOT success rates were not affected by the presence of menopause.
