5 Year Outcomes of the Patients who went Through Tension Free Vaginal Tape Operation due to Intrinsic Sphincteric Deficiency

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 5-year outcomes of the patients who had TVT (Tension Free Vaginal Tape) due to ISD (Intrinsic Sphincteric Deficiency) and to identify the predictors for sling failure MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patient outcomes after TVT due to ISD were evaluated through a retrospective review of medical records. 38 patients who underwent TVT surgery for ISD at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2016 were included as the study subjects. Patients were evaluated by gynaecologic examination, Q-tip test, cough stress test, and short forms of quality-of-life questionnaires. All surgeries and evaluations were performed by the same surgical team. SPSS 22 is used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Patients’ postoperative quality of life questionnaire scores were significantly lower. (13.72±3.15 and 16.25±3.41. vs 3.11±1.37 3.08±1.25) (p<0.001). Also cough stress test ratio was decreased from 100 % to 13.2 %. (p<0.001). 73.7 % of our patients were considered cured while %26.4 Multiple regression analysis showed that lower MUCP (maximal urethral closure pressure), lower VLPP (Valsalva leak point pressure), and absence of urethral hypermobility are independent risk factors for surgery failure. 15, 5cmH2O MUCP (80 % sensitivity, 67,8 % specificity) and 30cm H2O VLPP (80 % sensitivity, 71,4% specificity) levels can be used in predicting surgery results. CONCLUSION: Tension Free Vaginal Tape is an effective treatment for Intrinsic Sphincteric Deficiency but there is an 80% possibility of treatment failure if the patient has preoperative MUCP below 15.5 cmH2O and/or VLPP below 30 cmH2O. These patients should be informed before surgery.
