[Remote results of using synthetic loop in the treatment of urinary incontinence in females (8-year study results)].
Out of 21 female patients who had undergone TVT operation for stress urinary incontinence from March 2000 to February 2001, 15 females responded to the interview in the telephone survey conducted in 2009. A Russian version of the King's Health Questionnaire was used. Seven (46.8%) patients assessed the effect of the operation as good, 4 (26.6%) patients--as satisfactory, 2 (13.3%) and 2 (13.3%) as bad and poor, respectively. Thus, a positive effect was achieved in 11 (73.4%) responders, while a negative effect was seen in 4 (26.6%) patients. Nine (60%) patients experienced no effect of urination problem on quality of life, 3 (20%) and 3(20%) patients experienced moderate and strong effect, respectively. Frequent voiding, urgencies at night, imperative voiding and urgent urinary incontinence were recorded in 3 (20%), 4 (26.7%), 2 (13.3%) and 2 (13.3%) patients, respectively. All 15 (100%) responders stated no incontinence in cough, sneezing and physical activity. Thus, our 8-year follow-up confirms that TVT operation is highly effective in stress urinary incontinence in women.
