Comparative Study
An anatomic comparison of the original versus a modified inside-out transobturator procedure.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the modification of a shortened tape and reduced dissection of the inside-out transobturator procedure on the tape's relationship to the relevant anatomical structures. ⋯ The shorter, inside-out transobturator tape traverses less muscular structures than its original counterpart, while still consistently anchoring in the obturator membrane at a similarly safe distance from the obturator canal.
