Urinary incontinence is one of the most common diseases, 25% of women between 18 and 80 years suffer from it. Urinary incontinence can be described as accidently loss of small amounts of urine. The solution involves a surgical procedure, such as sling procedures and bladder neck suspension procedures. The methods of surgical interventions have evolved due to a minimum period of hospitalization (sling, TVT), or performing laparoscopic surgery instead of the classical Burch surgery. Studies reviled that the most effective interventions are those which restore the urethra by retro pubic urethropexy, pubovaginal sling and synthetic mid-urethral slings. This type of surgery has currently the highest success rate (85-90% on 5 years after surgery), and the lowest relapse rate. In our study we obtained the same success rate for the TVT procedure.

In this study we determined the efficacy of TVT for the treatment of female urinary incontinence in a first group of patients (69) of our urogynaecology service from April 1998 to December 2000. The TVT procedure is a minimally invasive technique, using local or spinal anaesthesia, which consists in the implantation of a Prolene tape around the mid-urethra. On the basis of our results (92.3 % success rate) we consider the TVT procedure to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence.

— Transvaginal needle bladder neck suspension for stress urinary incontinence: personal experience. The Authors present their personal experience of 30 patients operated between 1988–1991 for stress urinary incontinence with transvaginal needle bladder neck suspension. 9 patients were treated with Gittes procedure, 14 with Raz and 7 with sling and minisling. Minimal post-operative complications, despite chronic urinary retentions, were observed. With a mean follow-up of 18 months (7–48) they report recurrence of incontinence respectively in 56%, 23% and 16% of the patients. With the significant rate of failure, even after repeated procedure, the Authors have drawn the conclusion that transvaginal needle-suspension should not be considered standard treatment of female S.U.I. They stress the need to carefully select patients. Females with major vaginal prolapse or significant rectocele are, from the authors' point of view, the best candidates for this kind of technique.
