Summary
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common and debilitating problem and affects 50% of women at some point in their lives. In 2001, concerns about complications associated with TVT led to the development of another MUS technique using the trans obturator procedure [2]. The diversity in technique gave rise to a professional discussion of both efficacy, complications and reoperations [3,4,5]. Because of concerns about complications associated with this operation, the other minimally invasive procedure using the trans obturator procedure was introduced by Dr J. de Leval in 2003. In Denmark, the professional discussion about Tension-free Vaginal Tape Obturator is ongoing, which is an important reason for evaluating the patient-reported outcome of this type of operation. The aim was to evaluate patient-reported outcome, adverse events and reoperations after Tension-free Vaginal Tape Obturator operations
