Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study is to share data obtained from different approaches to transobturator tape procedures. Methods: A total of 110 patients with stress urinary incontinence were included. All these participants underwent transobturator tape procedures. The transobturator tape procedure was performed in two different ways, outside-in and inside-out. This study included participants who presented with complaints of stress urinary incontinence and agreed to participate in the research at the gynecology outpatient clinic of a secondary care hospital in Turkey. The study analyzed ultrasound results obtained before the procedure, participants' menopausal status, and childbirth characteristics. Participants' characteristics regarding colporrhaphy surgeries and outside-in and inside-out approaches were also analyzed. Results: According to the participants' USG results, myomas were detected in three participants, while cysts in the right and/or left ovary were identified in six participants. The transobturator tape procedure was performed from the inside-out in 71 participants (64,6%), while it was performed from the outside-in in the remaining 39 participants. Participants' postoperative Hb, Hct, and WBC values were compared using outside-in and inside-out approaches. No differences were found between the groups. Conclusion: Transobturator tape surgery offers a robust and efficacious solution for stress urinary incontinence.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı transobturator bant yaklaşımlarından elde edilen verileri paylaşmaktır. Yöntemler: Stres idrar kaçırması olan toplam 110 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu katılımcıların tümü transobturator bant prosedürü geçirdi. Transobturator bant prosedürü dıştan içe ve içten dışa olmak üzere iki farklı şekilde gerçekleştirildi. Bu çalışmaya Türkiye'de ikinci basamak bir hastanenin jinekoloji polikliniğine stres idrar kaçırma şikayetiyle başvuran ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden katılımcılar dahil edildi. Çalışmada, işlem öncesi elde edilen ultrason sonuçları, katılımcıların menopoz durumu ve doğum özellikleri analiz edildi. Katılımcıların kolporafi ameliyatları ve dıştan içe ve içten dışa yaklaşımlar ile ilgili özellikleri incelendi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların USG sonuçlarına göre, üç katılımcıda miyom, altı katılımcıda ise sağ ve/veya sol overde kist tespit edildi. Transobturator bant ameliyatı 71 (%64,6) katılımcıda içten dışa, kalan 39 katılımcıda ise dıştan içe uygulandı. Katılımcıların içten dışa ve dıştan içe ameliyatları sonrası saptanan Hb, Hct ve WBC değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Gruplar arasında fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Transobturator bant ameliyatı stres tipi idrar kaçırma için güçlü ve etkili bir çözüm sunmaktadır.
