A Medium to Long-Term Study Comparing Stress Urinary Incontinence Procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Concerns remain regarding the safety of the retropubic tape (TVT) procedure. We assess the efficacy, satisfaction and long-term outcomes of the TVT procedure and compare it to the autologous fascial sling (AFS), colposuspension, and urethral bulking procedures.

Methods

A review of prospective data of all patients post stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery in our tertiary center between January 2012 and December 2020 was performed. Patients were invited to complete three validated questionnaires: International Consultation of Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS), ICIQ Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) and ICIQ satisfaction (ICIQ-S). Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate complications. Kruskal-Wallis test
