Article Abstract
Objective: Women with pelvic floor disorders and urinary incontinence (UI) are at an increased risk of sexual dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of surgery for UI on sexual function.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 82 women who underwent mid-urethral transobturator tape (TOT) surgery between March 2010 and December 2014. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) were administered pre- and postoperatively.
Results: We observed a significant increase in the total postoperative PISQ-12 scores compared to the preoperative scores (from 27.1±7.3 to 30.5±6.8, <0.001). Improved sexual function was confirmed in the physical (13.3±4.5 vs. 15.8±3.5, <0.001) and partner-related domains (6.7±2.6 vs. 7.4±2.4, =0.001). Coital incontinence and preoperative urinary distress inventory score were significant factors influencing postoperative sexual function in women undergoing TOT surgery for UI after adjusting for age, body mass index, menopause, and preoperative PISQ-12 score in multivariate regression analysis.
Conclusion: TOT surgery for UI correction resulted in significant improvement in sexual function.

A Randomized Comparison of Transobturator Tape with the Plication of Urethral Ligaments in the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The new urethral ligament plication (ULP) operation for curing SUI is tape free. Instead of using a tape, the pubourethral ligament (PUL) is prevented from lengthening to cause urine loss on effort by a single collagen-creating polyester suture that confines all four branches of the PUL and adds new collagen to strengthen the ligaments. Its anatomical basis is identical to that for the midurethral sling (MUS).

Objective: To compare the efficacy of mid-urethral sling surgery with and without concurrent pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
Methods: The retrospective chart review was conducted in May 2022 at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data of female patients who underwent mid-urethral sling surgery either through tension-free vaginal tape or trans obturator tape for stress urinary incontinence between January 2010 and December 2020 and had a complete 12-month follow-up data available. Two groups were formed: Group A had mid-urethral sling surgery cases, while Group B, had cases with concurrent mid-urethral sling and pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Midurethral slings (MUS), including retropubic (tension-free vaginal tape [TVT]) and transobturator tape (TVTO) approaches, are commonly used surgical treatments for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although both techniques have demonstrated high short-term success rates, long-term durability and recurrence remain critical concerns. This systematic review was aimed at comparing long-term outcomes of TVT and TVTO based on studies with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up.

Objectives: To describe the translabial ultrasound findings in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) who underwent single-incision sling (SIS) insertion and to determine the correlation between these findings and results after surgery.
Study Design: Retrospective and analytical study of patients with SUI who underwent SIS. Translabial ultrasound was performed 12 months after surgery.
