Objective: To compare the efficacy of four kinds of suspender surgery: tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), trans-obturator tape (TOT), Goebell-Stoeckel fascia lata sling (Lata) and Burch urethropexy (Burch) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Method: In this controlled, retrospective study, 103 patients were enrolled, including 53 patients who were operated on by TVT, 16 patients by TOT, 19 patients by Lata and 15 patients by Burch.
Results: The cure rate was as follows: TVT 94% (50/53), TOT 94% (15/16), Lata 95% (18/19), and Burch 87% (13/15) three months after the operation. The operative time for TVT, TOT, Lata and Burch was (28 +/- 7), (16 +/- 5), (125 +/- 13), and (43 +/- 6) min, whereas the duration of postoperative catheterization was (26 +/- 3), (3 +/- 1), (120 +/- 6), and (72 +/- 5) h, respectively. Two cases in TVT group had bladder perforation, one case in TVT group and two cases in Lata group had urinary retention postoperatively.
Conclusions: The efficacy of the four kinds of suspender surgery is obvious. TVT and TOT have the advantage of minimal invasion, quick recovery, and short duration of hospitalization and catheterization, with the possibility of accompanying operations of uterine and vaginal prolapse at the same time. Burch can also be operated on concomitantly with other gynecological operations.
