Abstract
Objectives
We aimed to compare the effect of elapsed time on sexual function in women who underwent a transobturator tape (TOT) procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with continent controls.
Methods
Urinary and sexual function of 70 females were assessed preoperatively at month 6 and postoperatively at month 24 in the study group. Forty-five patients without urinary incontinence and demographically matched with the study group were assessed for sexual function at first administration and 24 months later in the control group. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used.
Results
The baseline total FSFI score (23.4 ± 3.2 vs 27.0 ± 4.3, P < .001) was significantly lower in patients with SUI. There was a slight increase (24.0 ± 3.0, P = .167) in sexual function at the end of 2 years in the study group, whereas in the control group, the total FSFI score (25.0 ± 4.5, P < .001) decreased significantly within 2 years. The success of the incontinence surgery was associated with higher long-term sexual function scores.
Conclusions
Successful TOT surgery can improve sexual function in women with SUI. This improvement decreases less over time compared to healthy controls.
期刊介绍:
LUTS is designed for the timely communication of peer-reviewed studies which provides new clinical and basic science information to physicians and researchers in the field of neurourology, urodynamics and urogynecology. Contributions are reviewed and selected by a group of distinguished referees from around the world, some of whom constitute the journal''s Editorial Board. The journal covers both basic and clinical research on lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD), such as overactive bladder (OAB), detrusor underactivity, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), painful bladder syndrome (PBS), as well as on other relevant conditions. Case reports are published only if new findings are provided.
LUTS is an official journal of the Japanese Continence Society, the Korean Continence Society, and the Taiwanese Continence Society. Submission of papers from all countries are welcome. LUTS has been accepted into Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) with a 2011 Impact Factor.
