Abstract
Ten-Year Outcomes of Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling for Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Hong Kong Chinese Women with or without Reconstructive Pelvic Floor Surgery
Highlights
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine upon effort or exertion, or on sneezing or coughing [1]
Compared transobturator mid-urethral sling (TO-mid-urethral sling (MUS)) only group with TO-MUS with reconstructive pelvic floor surgery (RPFS) group, there were no statistically significant differences in objective cure rate (84.2% vs. 90.5%, p = 0.55) and subjective cure rate (78.9% vs. 83.3%, p = 0.58)
Delorme [5] and de Leval [6] developed the second generation: transobturator mid-urethral sling (TO-MUS) which was based on the rationale of avoiding complications such as bladder perforation and visceral damage
Summary
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine upon effort or exertion, or on sneezing or coughing [1]. It is a common and debilitating problem. With a popular trend of minimally invasive surgery, mid-urethral sling (MUS) has revolutionized the surgical treatment of SUI. First generation of MUS, retropubic mid-urethral sling (RP-MUS), was first introduced in 1996 [4]. Delorme [5] and de Leval [6] developed the second generation: transobturator mid-urethral sling (TO-MUS) which was based on the rationale of avoiding complications such as bladder perforation and visceral damage.
