Abstract

We evaluated the two-year follow-up results for tension-free obturator tape operations by comparing patients before (n = 64) and after (n = 204) the procedure, using the King's Health Questionnaire and the Giesen test. A psychometric analysis of the two groups showed an improved quality of life (with particular focus on the social impact, day-to-day activities, stress due to incontinence, sleep disturbance and general health). The success of the operation could not be explained by personality factors. Subjective cure rates of 79.9 % together with an improved ability to form social contacts demonstrated the success rate of the innovative TOT method.
