[Treatment of stress urinary incontinence with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT). Mid-term results of a prospective study of 124 cases].

Objectives: The role of urethral support in continence has been stressed since 1994, resulting in a new technique for repair of stress urinary incontinence: Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT). This technique has been performed in France since 1996 and we analyse the results of this technique in 124 consecutive patients treated for stress urinary incontinence.

Material And Method: The 124 patients did not present any prolapse requiring surgical repair and presented clinical urine leaks on effort after filling the bladder with 250 ml of physiological saline (stress test).
