Aims: The study aims to determine the changes in sexual function and life of patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed type urinary incontinence (MUI) with transobturator tape (TOT) operation. Methods: 232 urinary incontinence patients who had only TOT surgery between the dates of May 2022- May 2023 were included in the study. Participants were similar in terms of demographic parameters. Participants completed several questionnaires, such as the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12), both before surgery and six months post-operative. Results: While IIQ-7 and UDI-6 values, which measure the adverse effects of urinary incontinence, were 13.06±3.74, 7.03±2.61 preoperatively, they were 2.14±2.12 and 2.92±1.77 postoperatively. The FSFI values for evaluating female sexual function were 22.58±1.91 preoperatively and 26.62±1.80 postoperatively, respectively. The total value of the PISQ-12 questionnaire, which also evaluated sexual function, was 39.77±14.19 preoperatively and 46.61±0.97 postoperatively. There was a significant difference between the results of the surveys conducted before and after the operation.(p values: 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively). Conclusion: Having a TOT operation affects the sexual function and life of patients suffering from SUI positively.
