These were paired with similar patients treated with TVT. The patients were matched according to age, low-pressure urethra, preexisting mixed incontinence, and additional prolapse repair. The follow-up time was 3 months. Assessment variables included a standardized questionnaire, medical history, voiding diary, urinary stress test, 24-hour pad test, and introital ultrasound. The position of the tape was defined by its location in relation to urethral length (%) and the narrowness by its distance to the hypoechoic center of the urethra (mm). &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; The rates of postoperative complications including bladder perforation, urinary retention, and erosion through the vagina were similar. The number of hematomas occurring after TVT was insignificantly higher than after TVT-O (5 cases vs. 1 case). The rates for cure or improvement of stress incontinence were 77 and 17% after TVT-O and 85 and 14% after TVT (not significant). The sonographic characteristics were identical. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; In terms of clinical outcome, TVT and TVT-O appear to be equally effective. Complications and sonographic characteristics of the tapes were similar after both procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000229502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]],"date-time":"2009-07-24T11:20:14Z","timestamp":1248434414000},"page":"137-144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparison of Transobturator Vaginal Tape and Retropubic Tension-Free Vaginal Tape: Clinical Outcome and Sonographic Results of a Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Andreas","family":"Reich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathrin","family":"Wiesner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frauke","family":"Kohorst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rolf","family":"Kreienberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Flock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF01902378"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-008-0666-z"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0029-7844%2801%2901565-4"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034%2Fj.1600-0412.2002.810113.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs001920170008"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ajog.2004.11.004"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.eururo.2003.09.003"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0029-7844%2897%2900545-0"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00404-007-0424-3"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ajog.2007.08.018"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-007-0514-6"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.urology.2004.04.030"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.eururo.2006.10.066"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-007-0554-y"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4321%2FS0004-06142007000900006"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-007-0440-7"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-005-0040-3"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-007-0334-8"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590%2FS1677-55382007000200017"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000093320"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ejogrb.2006.03.007"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00016340701797765"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ijgo.2007.03.055"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2006-924036"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2003-41256"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0302-2838%2802%2900554-7"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs10397-007-0281-x"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.eururo.2003.10.008"},{"key":"ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-007-0482-x"},{"key":"ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.juro.2006.08.063"},{"key":"ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.gyobfe.2007.03.014"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/229502","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/229502","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T21:53:50Z","timestamp":1745445230000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000229502"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009]]},"references-count":31,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000229502","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0378-7346"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-002X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009]]}}}
