Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

792
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Summary

Mid-term follow-up of the Monarc transobturator tape procedure for stress urinary incontinence shows a decline in effectiveness. Initially high cure rates dropped to 61% after a mean of 51 months, with no clear risk factors for recurrence identified.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Suburethral sling procedures, particularly the transobturator tape (TOT) method, are standard treatments for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
  • While short-term success rates are high, long-term functional outcomes and recurrence factors after TOT procedures require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the mid-term functional outcomes of the Monarc TOT procedure for SUI.
  • To identify potential risk factors associated with the recurrence of SUI after initial successful treatment with the Monarc TOT.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, single-center study included 133 women who underwent the Monarc TOT procedure for SUI between 2004 and 2013.
  • Data on patient demographics, surgical history, and postoperative outcomes were collected, with mid-term evaluation defined by subjective cure (ICIQ-SF score of zero, no further intervention, no pads).

Main Results:

  • Of 125 initially cured women, 103 (82%) were available for mid-term follow-up (mean 51 months).
  • The overall cure rate at mid-term was 61%, with 78% of recurrent cases presenting as SUI.
  • Univariate analysis did not reveal significant prognostic factors for mid-term failure.

Conclusions:

  • The Monarc TOT procedure for SUI demonstrates a deterioration in functional outcomes over the mid-term.
  • Approximately 61% of women initially cured remained free of leakage at approximately 4 years post-procedure.
