[Mini-invasive operations for correction of urinary incontinence in females].

We compared efficacy of surgical treatment of urinary incontinence in women depending on the size of the synthetic sling and technique of its installation. From January to September 2009 we made 75 operations with synthetic suburethral slings: TVT-SECUR (TVT-S)--group 1 (n = 35) and TVT-O- group 2 (n = 40). The sling was installed in U position in 14 patients of group 1 and in H position in 21 patients. The control examinations included questionnaire survey, cough stress test (in bladder volume more than 150 ml), vaginal investigation, uroflowmetry, in urgency--complex urodynamic examination. A total of 32 patients of group 1 and 40 patients of group 2 were examined postoperatively. A positive result was achieved in 20 (62%) and 38 (95%) (p = 0.0006) patients of group 1 and 2, respectively. Quality of life was assessed as good and very good by 22 (68%) and 37 (93%) patients of groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.0105), respectively. The control examination after 6 months of follow-up showed good result in 7 (53%) and 13 (68%) patients of group 1 (subgroups U and H, respectively). Reoperation for urinary incontinence was made in 4 (30%) patients of subgroup U and 1 (5%)--of subgroup H. Thus, surgical treatment of urinary incontinence in women according to TVT-0 technique is more effective than in TVT-S surgery, but minisling TVT-S is more effective in patients with bad somatic status and in H position.
