摘要

Objective: To evaluate, in a comprehensive way, mesh and mesh free SUI treatment results obtained in a single center. The present study addresses the efficacy and safety of a novel surgical technique. Material & Methods: Adult female SUI patients, 184 in total, were divided within a sequential manner into two groups to be treated for SUI either with or without mesh insertion during a surgical intervention. In this novel procedure, a vertical vaginal incision from the urethra towards the bladder bottom is made and closed transversely. After the intervention the patients revisited the clinic at the 6th month. Results: 81 patients in mesh and 83 in the mesh free group completed the 2-year follow up. Based on the pad tests conducted at the end of 24-month follow up, 82% of the patients in the mesh free group and 85% in the mesh group were considered as successful if the pad test resulted with ≤2 gram. Cystocele of Grade I or II was also treated in 69 patients within the same single surgical procedure. Conclusion: The surgical outcomes of the mesh and mesh-free group were almost the same. However, though the cure rate of the mesh group was higher, it was not statistically significant. Adverse events were more frequent in the mesh group due to mesh presence.
