Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery in treating female recurrent stress urinary incontinence (rSUI). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 patients who experienced recurrence of mid-urethral sling failure and were treated with TVT surgery at Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from January 2016 to June 2020. Basic patient information was collected. The International Consultation on Incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICI-Q-SF) was used to record urinary incontinence symptom scores preoperatively, 1-year postoperatively, and more than three years postoperatively. The changes in various ICI-Q-SF scores and total scores were compared. Additionally, clinical symptom severity of urinary incontinence was recorded and compared preoperatively and more than three years postoperatively. Results: Among the 24 patients included in the follow-up, one patient was lost to follow-up due to death from a cerebrovascular accident one year postoperatively, leaving 23 patients with a follow-up period ranging from 3.9 to 7.3 years, with an ave-rage follow-up time of (5.2±1.1) years. Preoperatively, the median ICI-Q-SF total score was 20.0 (16.0, 21.0); at the 1-year follow-up, the median ICI-Q-SF total score was 5.0 (1.5, 7.8) (P < 0.001); at an average follow-up of five years, the median ICI-Q-SF total score was 6.0 (3.0, 9.0), still showing a statistically significant difference compared with preoperative scores (P < 0.001). The individual ICI-Q-SF scores were significantly lower at the 1-year and average five-year follow-ups compared with preoperative scores (P < 0.001). Regarding the severity of urinary incontinence, all the patients had moderate to severe urinary incontinence preoperatively; Five years postoperatively, 87.0% (20/23) of the patients had no or only mild urinary incontinence, and 13.0% (3/23) had recurrent moderate to severe urinary incontinence (P < 0.001). Conclusion: TVT surgery is effective in treating female recurrent stress urinary incontinence, with an average 5-year cure and improvement rate of 87.0%.
