title: [Transobturator urethral suspension: mini-invasive procedure in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women].
abstract: Transobturator tape is an artificial tape designed for urethral suspension to treat female stress urinary incontinence. This tape has two original features: its non-woven polypropylene structure is coated with silicone on the urethral surface in order to limit retraction of polypropylene and to establish a barrier to extension of periurethral fibrosis. transmuscular insertion, through the obturator and puborectalis muscles, reproduces the natural suspension fascia of the urethra while preserving the retropubic space. A preliminary study (40 implantations) confirmed the feasibility of this operation, the low morbidity (one complication: sepsis) and the encouraging results between 3 and 12 months; in the treatment of isolated incontinence (16 patients), no postoperative dysuria has been observed; 15 patients are totally continent and 1 patient is improved; in the treatment of prolapse associated with frank or potential incontinence (24 patients), transient postoperative dysuria was observed in 4 cases, with no postoperative incontinence.
