Perioperative outcomes of female stress urinary incontinence treated with transobturator tape

Purpose: To identify peri-operative clinical outcomes of transobturator tape procedure and also to analyze the effectiveness of this procedure. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, 47 women with stress urinary incontinence underwent transobturator tape procedure at Gulhane Education and Research Hospital. Patients’ groups were compared in terms of their peri-operative outcomes (duration, changes of hematocrit (HTC) levels, post-operative complications, residual urine volume changes, hospital stay).
