“…It has to be seen in the near future if the use of TVT tape as prosthetic material and the fibrotic tissue that is developed around it could maintain their function in the long term, preventing stress urinary incontinence. The incidence of de novo urgency at 5-year follow-up was 12.3%, which is in agreement with the results published by Doo et al [13] wherein they report 11.5% incidence of de novo urgency and urge incontinence, higher than the 6% incidence of de novo urgency reported by Chene et al [12]. At 7-year follow-up, the incidence of de novo urgency was 19.6%, while other studies have reported an incidence of de novo urge symptoms at 6.3% [5].…”

The objective of the study was to obtain a prospective assessment of the efficacy and the complications associated with the use of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the management of urodynamic stress incontinence at 5- and 7-year follow-up. Sixty-five female patients with stage I cystocele or less who have been operated with TVT procedure for management of urodynamic stress incontinence have been included in the study. At 5-year follow-up, the objective cure rate was 83% and failure rate 9.4%. At 7-year follow-up, the objective cure rate was 80% and the failure rate 13.5%. De novo detrusor overactivity was seen in 9.4% and 11.4% of patients at 5- and 7-year follow-up, respectively. TVT operation is an effective and safe minimally invasive procedure for the management of urodynamic stress incontinence in women without significant cystocele in the long-term follow-up. The 10- and 20-year results are awaited.

“…These results are similar with the 84.7% [11] and 94.5% [12] for pure stress urinary incontinence that has been reported, and it is comparable with the 78% for pure stress urinary incontinence that has been published [13]. At 7-year follow-up, the objective cure rate is 80%, the objective improvement is 6.5%, and the failure rate is 13%.…”

“…Most of the studies with urodynamics showed a significant decrease of the flow rate months and years after TVT placement [13,29,30]. Only a few authors presented normal flow rates after TVT [5,31].…”

“…Only a few authors presented normal flow rates after TVT [5,31]. Two longitudinal studies show an improvement of micturition over the years without reaching the preoperative values [13,29]. In this respect it is possible to initially wait in the case of voiding dysfunction 6–8 weeks after the TVT procedure and to bridge the time gap with self-catheterization or a suprapubic catheter [27].…”

“…Furthermore, frequent problems after the TVT procedure are voiding dysfunctions, from mild changes in micturition to urine retention. We found conflicting publications about this complication and the value of different types of management [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. The aim of this prospective observational study is to investigate the frequency and degree of voiding dysfunction and their appropriate management.…”

Aim: To assess the incidence of voiding dysfunction in women undergoing a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure and report our experience with nonsurgical and surgical management. Methods: Pre- and postoperative introital ultrasonographic measurement of the residual volume was performed in a prospective observational study. Patients’ perception of micturition and continence status was assessed by questionnaire. Results: Of 478 women, 4 (0.8%) suffered from micturition disturbance within the first 2 weeks. In the mean of 3 months after surgery, 7.1% of the patients had residual volume between 50 and 100 ml, and 2.6% had residual volume >100 ml. 243 women were investigated after 39 months (range 12–74). The rate of residual volume exceeding 50 ml decreased to 6.5% and was approximated to the preoperative period. Conclusion: Incomplete bladder emptying is a possible problem after TVT. In our cohort, 93% of the women had no voiding disturbances or marginally affected voiding after 12–74 months.
