Tape-Releasing Suture with “Long Loop” on Mid-Urethral Sling: A Novel Procedure for Management of Iatrogenic Urethral Obstruction

Background: To report our experiences of a tape-releasing suture with “long-loop” in women with iatrogenic urethral obstruction following the mid-urethral sling procedure. Methods: A total of 149 women underwent a tape-releasing suture with “Long Loop” during the operation. Post-void residual volume...

description Background: To report our experiences of a tape-releasing suture with “long-loop” in women with iatrogenic urethral obstruction following the mid-urethral sling procedure. Methods: A total of 149 women underwent a tape-releasing suture with “Long Loop” during the operation. Post-void residual volume was evaluated after Foley removal. Lower urinary tract symptoms and urodynamic studies were assessed before and six months postoperatively. Results: Nine women out of 149 who underwent mid-urethral sling surgery were found to have iatrogenic urethral obstruction post-operatively based on their urinary symptoms and ultrasound findings. There was no apparent difference between tested groups in mid-urethral sling products and concomitant procedures. 77.8% had successful releases after the first Long-loop manipulation procedure, and 22.2% required two or more releases. However, the SUI cure rate is similar in groups receiving the Long-loop manipulation or not (88.9% and 87.1%, respectively). Conclusions: We are convinced of the practicability and efficacy of the tape-releasing suture “Long-loop.” We adopted subjective and objective means to evaluate both groups before and after a six-month follow-up. The Long-loop manipulation procedure can successfully resolve the iatrogenic urethral obstruction without compromising the effectiveness of mid-urethral sling for the treatment of SUI.
