Abstract

This study assessed the outcome of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) in the treatment of mixed incontinence using the Medical Epidemiologic and Social Aspects of Ageing (MESA) questionnaire and other outcome measures used by the British Society of Urogynaecology (BSUG) database. Forty women undergoing TVT completed a MESA questionnaire pre-operatively and at 6 months post-operatively. Information was also obtained about three outcome measures of the BSUG database—patients’ global impression of outcome and stress and urge symptom analyses. Stress and urge incontinences were either cured or improved in 78 and 75 % of women, respectively, after TVT. The results of post-operative patients’ global impression of outcome showed great or moderate improvement in 75% of cases and had 69% reduction in mean MESA scores (p value less than 0.001). Symptom improvement based on MESA scores relates well with the basic outcome measures for stress and urge incontinences used by the BSUG database.
