Long-term Outcome of the TVT Procedure Without Preoperative Urodynamic Examination

A follow-up study of 191 patients operated on with the TVT procedure between January 1998 and May 2000 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Turku City Hospital. After a mean of 10.5 years patients were invited to a follow-up visit. Subjective outcome was evaluated with condition-specific and general quality of life and health questionnaires. Objective outcome was evaluated with gynaecological examination and a supine stress test. Objective cure was defined as a negative stress test and no need for a reoperation for SUI and subjective cure.
