Objectives: Stress urinary incontinence is a severe problem needs to be addressed especi-ally in elder patient population. Usually pelvic relaxation is an accompanying issue either cor-rected alone or concomittant with incontinence treatment. This study aimed to find out whether concomittant hysterectomy makes any differen-ce in transobturator tape incontinence surgery outcomes.
Material and Methods: This study included 66 patients with isolated stress urinary inconti-nence. Two groups formed either with transob-turator tape placement alone or transobturator tape placement with minimally invasive hyste-rectomy. Treatment outcomes evaluated with UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires.
Results: It is found that there is no additi-onal benefit to urinary incontinence treatment with hysterectomy performed in same session with transobturator tape placement.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive hysterec-tomy for pelvic relaxation surgery can be per-formed safely and knowing that it won’t change the outcomes of transobturator tape placement.
