Abstract

Our purpose was to evaluate the outcome of a subset of patients that had a tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) placed following a previous anti-incontinence procedure. We performed a retrospective analysis of 27 consecutive women who had a TVT-O placed from January 2004 to December 2007. Patients were given the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaire starting at the 3-month follow-up. Of 174 women who had a TVT-O placed, 27 (15.5%) had a prior failed anti-incontinence procedure or surgery performed. The mean age was 63.8 years (range 43–87). Mean follow-up was 25.7 months (range 12–47 months). Based on the PGI-I, the overall success rate was 80% (20/25). In the properly selected patients with prior intervention for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the success rate for TVT-O of 80% appears to be comparable to that of patients who never had a previous surgical or minimally invasive treatment for SUI.
