Incontinence-related quality of life and sexual function following the tension-free vaginal tape versus the "inside-out" tension-free vaginal tape obturator.

The objective of this cohort study was to compare morbidity, quality of life, and sexual function in stress-incontinent women treated with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) in a group of 329. Preoperative scores of the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were compared to those from a mailed, postoperative questionnaire. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and three additional questions were also included in the mailing.
