Summary

Surgeons avoid transvaginal tape (TVT) due to bladder injury risks. A new method using Xylocaïne and methylene blue reduces injury risk, making TVT safer and faster, comparable to TOT procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Transvaginal tape (TVT) procedures carry a risk of bladder injury, increasing operative time and leading some surgeons to abandon the technique.
  • Current bladder integrity checks, such as cystoscopy, add complexity and duration to TVT surgeries.

Observation:

  • A novel technique involves infiltrating the periurethral and perivesical space with diluted Xylocaïne via vaginal and suprapubic routes.
  • Instilling 360 ml of methylene blue solution into the bladder allows for rapid and safe detection of bladder injuries during TVT placement.

Findings:

  • This method effectively minimizes the risk of bladder injuries during TVT sling installation.
  • The procedure allows for quick identification of true transfixion or submucosal bladder perforations.
  • The described technique aims to make TVT as safe and time-efficient as the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure.

Implications:

  • This approach may encourage the wider adoption of TVT procedures by mitigating safety concerns.
  • It offers a potentially simpler and faster alternative to traditional bladder integrity assessments during TVT.
  • The technique could redefine safety standards and procedural efficiency in stress urinary incontinence surgery.
