Abstract

ResumenObjetivoEvaluar la eficacia de la minibanda vaginal libre de tensión (TVT-S) en el tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE).Material y métodoEstudio prospectivo de 170 pacientes con IUE a las que se insertó una minibanda TVT-S y fueron seguidas durante un mínimo de 24 meses. Se evaluaron la curación objetiva de la IUE, mediante exploración clínica, y la curación subjetiva, mediante el cuestionario ICIQ-SF.ResultadosEl análisis final se realizó sobre 137 pacientes. La tasa de curación objetiva fue del 84% y la subjetiva del 91,2%. Se produjeron 7 complicaciones intraoperatorias (4,11%) y 5 extrusiones de la malla (3,6%) durante el periodo de seguimiento.ConclusionesEn nuestra serie la minibanda TVT-S presenta una tasa aceptable de curación de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo, pero inferior a la tasa de curación publicada para las bandas TVT y TVT-O.

ObjectivesTo assess the efficacy of the tension-free vaginal tape mini-sling (TVT-S) to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.Material and methodWe performed a prospective study of 170 patients who underwent TVT-S insertion and who were followed-up for at least 24 months. Both the objective and subjective cure rate were evaluated using clinical examination and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF).ResultsThe final number of assessed women was 137. The objective cure rate was 84% and the subjective cure rate was 91.2%. There were 7 complications during the surgery and 5 cases of mesh exposure (3.6%) during the follow-up period.ConclusionsIn our experience, the TVT-S cure rate for SUI is acceptable but is lower than the published cure rate for tension-free transvaginal tape (TVT) and tension-free transvaginal tape obturator (TVT-O).
