- Abstract
Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition and rising among women, with a significant deterioration of quality of life. Objectives: To evaluate the results in the treatment of SUI by ambulatory TOT with intraoperative adjustment of mesh tension. Methods: We performed a prospective descriptive study that evaluated the objective and subjective outcomes of the SUI treatment with ambulatory TOT intraoperative adjustment of mesh tension. Results: Normal continence was obtained 93.3% of patients, 87% were considered cured. There were no major complications or over correction at 24 months follow up. 93.3% were discharged on the day of surgery. Conclusions: The intraoperative adjustment of the mesh would improve continence results published in TOT outpatient surgery, reducing the risk of overcorrection of SUI safely and quickly. We believe it should be a mandatory step in the TOT.
