Abstract:
PURPOSE: We evaluated the early outcomes of Gortex patch sling operation in the management of women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency(ISD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 20 women underwent Gortex patch sling operation to treat genuine stress urinary incontinence and all patients had ISD. Patients were interviewed by telephone for incontinence, self-catheterization, and voiding symptoms at a mean of 16.6 months(range 6-35) after surgery. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 54.2 years and mean parity was 2. Mean operation time was 55 minutes(range 45-90) and mean duration of postoperative catheterization was 7.0 days(range 5-12). Success rate(complete dry) was 90% and de novo urge incontinence occurred in 3(15%). CONCLUSIONS: Gortex patch sling operation is a safe, simple and effective procedure for the treatment of stress incontinence due to ISD. However, further follow-up of longterm results is needed.
