Randomized Controlled Trial[Clinical study on tension-free vaginal tape and tension-free vaginal tape obturator for surgical treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence].
To investigate the clinical efficacy and improvement of patients' quality of life in tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) for surgical treatment of severe female stress urinary incontinence. ⋯ Both techniques appear to be equally effective in the surgical treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence in a short term review. Significant improvements could also be seen in patients' quality of life. However, TVT-O has a shorter operative time. No evidence of increasing risk of urethral obstruction after the operation could be found. Long term follow-ups are necessary to evaluate outcomes of different types of surgery for stress urinary incontinence.
