Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the medium and long term outcomes of tension-free mid-urethral sling in the treatment of female patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).Methods: Twenty-six patients who underwent the tension-free mid-urethral sling procedure for MUI from April, 2010 to September, 2016, were followed up.Four of the 26 patients underwent retropubic tension free mid-urethral sling (TVT), and 22 of them underwent transurethral middle obturator sling (TOT).Scales were used in the follow-up, such as urinary incontinence severity score (UISS), detrusor instability score (DIS), incontinence quality of life scale evaluation (I-QOL), Urogenital Distress Inventory short form (UDI-6), and the outcomes before and after the procedure were compared.Results: The mean age was 62 years, with a range of 42-80 years.The mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.82 kg/m2, with a range of 21.48-31.14 kg/m2.The mean follow-up time was 26 months, with a range of 8-69 months.Twelve patients never took M-blockers and the rest 14 patients took M-blockers within two weeks.None of the pa-tients had complications, including dysuria, injury of bladder, urethra, obturator vessel or nerve during the surgery.After pulling out the catheter, no one suffered moderate or severe pain or difficulty of urination.The overall cure rate for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was 96.15% with 25 patients cured, and for urge urinary incontinence (UUI) was 76.92% with 20 patients cured.The patients'' life quality also improved significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion: Ten of the 26 patients showed an overactive bladder according to urodynamic study, from whom all of the six failed patient were.And 16 patients didn''t show an overactive bladder, which may due to two reasons.One is that their sense of urge is not so serious, the other one is that their sense of urge is from urethra.Proximal urethra is full of nerve, which plays a role in sense and urine control.The sense of urge may come from urethra instead of bladder.Tension-free mid-urethral sling procedure is an effective treatment for women with mixed urinary incontinence.Even without taking the M-blockers, the cure rate for urge incontinence reached 76.92%.The efficacy of surgery remained stable in medium and long term, and the patients'' quality of life improved significantly.
