What determines a successful tension-free vaginal tape? A prospective multicenter cohort study: Results from The Netherlands TVT database
Article Abstract:
The study is carried out to report which preoperative and intraoperative factors influence the success of the tension-free vaginal tape procedures for stress urinary incontinence. It is concluded that the inexperience of the surgeon with the tension-free vaginal tape procedure and general anesthesia has a negative effect on the result, thus suggesting that only the experienced surgeons should perform this procedure.
