Abstract
To evaluate short term outcome and complications of Trans‐obturator tape. Study was conducted at three hospitals in Kashmir valley between 2019‐2022. Total thirty‐five trans‐obturator tape surgeries were performed by single surgeon. Out of 35 patients five did not return back for follow up, two were lost during follow up, therefore 28 patients were studied. Mean(±SD) age was 53±6.3 years. Mean(±SD) BMI of studied patients was 25.6±4.7. Mean(±SD) Operation time (surgery) in our study was 25.6±4.8 minutes. Two (7%) patients have developed hemorrhage intra‐operatively. Four (14%) patients have reported to our OPD with complains of groin pain and Two (7%) patients with retention of urine in first month of procedure. One (3%) patient reported with mesh erosion after one year of procedure. Urine leak was reported by One (3%) patient in third year of procedure. Trans‐obturator tape is less invasive and effective surgical technique for correction of Stress urinary incontinence. The risk to urinary bladder, urethra and bowel is very less however few patients have developed complications like mesh erosion and recurrence on long term follow up, therefore further large sample size studies are required over longer period of time to validate findings.
