A Prospective Study

Background: Stress urinary incontinence is a symptom or sign indicating that the woman has involuntary loss of urine associated with exertion in the absence of detrusor contraction. It has a significant impact on quality of life. TOT insertion is a popular procedure being done now. Studies related to quality of life assessment following Trans obturator tape (TOT) insertion is sparingly reported. Objectives of present study were to evaluate the quality of life following TOT insertion in patients with stress urinary incontinence and to assess the post operative complications.Methods: This is a prospective study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Government Medical College, Thrissur from January 2015 to December 2016. 48 women with Stress urinary incontinence who underwent TOT insertion were included in the study, out of which 30 patients were followed up. The King’s Health Questionnaire was used for assessment. Data was analyzed using Epi Info 7 and Microsoft Excel. The statistical analysis was done using student t-test.Results: At 6 months follow up 86.66% (26) of patients had significant improvement in quality of life. 2 patients (6.66%) had postoperative voiding dysfunction, required recatheterisation, discharged after relief of symptoms. 2 patients (6.66%) had urge incontinence, advised medical management and was sent home, showed no improvement even after 6 months. 2 patients (6.66%) had continuous incontinence, fistula ruled out. Now they were lost to our follow up. Most common late post operative complication was groin pain. None had mesh erosion, bladder and bowel injuries.Conclusions: TOT is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which significantly improves the quality of life.

Urinary incontinence is a major health problem. According to various authors, it concerns 30–40% of the population and grows with age, affecting approximately 50% of women aged over 70. According to the recommendations of the International Continence Society, the treatment of urinary incontinence should commence with conservative treatment and, above all, with physiotherapy. If the conservative treatment fails or the level of urinary incontinence is too high, surgery is recommended. With regard to female patients examined at work, the TOT method was applied. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between regular physical activity and the quality of life of women aged 65–87 who underwent surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using the TOT method. The study group involved 60 postmenopausal women, patients of the Department of Gynaecology of the Hospital of Ministry of the Interior and Administration in Wroclaw, with SUI diagnosed during ultrasonography. The female patients were surveyed before and 12 months after the surgery using standardised IPAQ and WHOQOL-BREF.FL questionnaires. Significant positive relationships between quality of life and physical activity before and 12 months after the surgery were demonstrated in the somatic and social domains. Physically active postmenopausal women presented higher values in all domains and total quality of life according to the WHOQOL-BREF compared with physically inactive women, both before and 12 months after the procedure using the TOT method.

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women and causes great loss of Quality of Life (QoL). Its prevalence varies from 15 to 41.5%. Objective: To assess the prevalence of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in women living in a rural community in Amapá, the main risk factors and quality of life assessment using a standardized questionnaire. Methodology: A screening questionnaire was applied to 235 women residing in Igarapé da Fortaleza, in the city of Macapá, in 2015. Patients with SUI complaints were submitted to the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) questionnaire. For statistical processing, BioEstat software version 5.3 was used. Results: The prevalence of SUI was 28.9% (68 women). A significant age difference was found between women with SUI (44.2) and without SUI (37.9 ± 12.5 years). Childbirth, birth interval, smoking and Body Mass Index (BMI) showed to be statistically significant differences between groups. Variables such as number of deliveries, birth weight, menopause, education and race did not express a real difference. Conclusion: The prevalence of SUI was 28.9%. There was a significant difference in the group with SUI in terms of age, smoking, parity, interval between births and BMI. In assessing QoL in patients with SUI using KHQ, we found the worst results in general health perception, impact of incontinence, personal relationships, sleep/mood and severity of symptoms.
