Abstract :

  Introduction: Normal continence is controlled by the nervous system and involves co–ordination between bladder, urethra, urethral sphincter, and pelvic floor. Incontinence occurs when the relationship among the above components is compromised, either due to physical damage or nerve dysfunction(1). Stress incontinence is a frequently encountered problem in females .Transobturator tape(TOT) was created by Delorme in 2001, where the  sling through the obturator foramen and is used to surgically treat stress incontinence(2). .   Aims and Objectives: 1) The present study is being undertaken to study the efficacy and safety of transobturator polypropylene hernia mesh in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. 2) To assess the level of satisfaction with the technique. Material and Methods: Female patients presenting with stress  urinary incontinence as subjective symptoms in the out patient department were selected for the study. All patients underwent an urodynamic study before surgery that confirmed  stress urinary incontinence. All the patients underwent TOT sling procedure, patients were informed about the ease, simplicity and safety of the procedure compared to other previous surgeries. Observation: A total of 20 female patients were included in our study, who underwent a TOT procedure. The postoperative results and complications were studied. Preoperative and postoperative results were also compared. Conclusion: TOT is a safe and effective procedure with a low rate of complications for stress urinary incontinence.
