In our department, the transobturator approach has been the first\u2010choice approach for TVTs since July 2003. Two types of tapes were mainly used, Obtape and TVT\u2010O, and the choice of tape was primarily decided by the surgeons\u2019 preference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In all, 316 women had a transobturator tape procedure, of which 96 were associated with another procedure; 112 women had TVT\u2010O using the \u2018inside\u2010out\u2019 technique and 204 had the \u2018outside\u2010in\u2019 technique. Of the latter, 192 had Obtape, four had Obtryx (Boston Scientific) and eight had Monarc (American Medical Systems Inc.) tapes. Sixteen women developed vaginal tape erosion, and significantly more were in the Obtape group than in the TVT\u2010O group (7.29% vs 1.78%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2003=\u20030.038). The patients\u2019 age, body mass index, previous vaginal surgery and concomitant vaginal surgery were not significant risk factors for erosions. The time between surgery and diagnosis of erosion was 1\u201345\u2003weeks, with only one patient being asymptomatic; all others presented with clinical symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, discharge and dyspareunia. Thirteen patients were continent at presentation and 10 of these remained continent after surgical management. In the TVT\u2010O group the erosions were in the lateral vaginal wall, while in the Obtape group the erosions were in the form of central tape extrusion secondary to defective vaginal wall healing.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were significantly more vaginal tape erosions in the Obtape group than in the TVT\u2010O group.
