Comparison of success, complication and satisfaction rates of TOT and TVT-O surgical techniques.
Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2023 August
BACKGROUND: Two different surgical techniques "inside-out" and "outside-in" have been described for transobturator tape procedure, one of the most preferred methods for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence in the last ten years. This study aimed to compare the success, complication, and patient satisfaction rates related to both techniques in patients who underwent transobturator tape procedure due to stress urinary incontinence in a 21-month period.
PATIENTS AND METHOD: A total of 71 patients including 46 patients who underwent transobturator tape operation with "outside-in" technique and 25 patients who underwent tension-free vaginal tape obturator operation with "inside-out" technique were involved in this study. Patients were evaluated in aspect of postoperative complications, pelvic examination results, stress test results, satisfaction, and quality of life scales.
RESULTS: Patients operated with both techniques were similar in terms of age, body mass index 15, and menopausal status. Considering the complication rates, dyspareunia was found to be higher in the group using the inside-out technique (p = 0.002). Operation success rates were similar in the two surgical techniques both in subjective and objective evaluation. In addition, although there were differences between the two groups in terms of patient satisfaction rate and quality of life score, overall satisfaction rates were found to be high.
CONCLUSION: Transobturator tape operation is a procedure that provides high success rates in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence regardless of the used technique. Operation success rates, patient satisfaction rates, and postoperative quality of life scores were found to be almost similar in both surgical techniques.
