INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Little data are available on the outcome of tension-free obturator tape (TVT-O) procedures in obese and overweight women. We hypothesized that the subjective and objective outcomes of TVT-O in women with a higher body mass index (BMI) would differ from those with a lower BMI. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 129 patients who had undergone TVT-O, stratifying by BMI into normal weight (n = 39), overweight (n = 58), and obese (n = 32) groups. We compared pre- and postoperative evaluations, including subjective and objective outcome of TVT-O, complications, and quality of life assessed by validated questionnaires. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 24 months. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of objective cure rate and subjective success, quality of life scores, or postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: BMI did not influence the outcome of TVT-O procedures at a median of 24 months after surgery.
