As the third-generation tension-free tape for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), tension-free vaginal tape (TVT)-Secur has decreased the common complications associated with TVT and tension-free vaginal tape-transobturator (TVT-O), such as bladder perforation and obstruction of the bladder outlet; but its efficacy and persistence were still controversial. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the postoperative efficacy and complication at different follow-up time.
Patients with SUI, who underwent TVT-Secur treatment in two hospitals from October 2008 to October 2009, were selected. By analyzing preoperative and intraoperative data and postoperative complications, the therapeutic effect and satisfaction at different follow-up stages were evaluated.
A total of 30 female patients participated in this study. Patients were scheduled for follow-up at the 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month and 12th month, while the cure rate was 83.3% (25 patients), 66.7% (20 patients), 63.3% (19 patients) and 60.0% (18 patients) respectively and the overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms appeared in 11 patients (36.7%), 10 patients (33.3%), 6 patients (20%) and 7 patients (23.3%) respectively.
With the follow-up time becoming longer, TVT-Secur has a high recurrence rate of SUI, the therapeutic effect from the 3rd month to the 12th month is relatively persistent.
