Trial summary

The midurethral tension-free vaginal tape (a macroporous polypropylene mesh) procedure is a well established technique for treating female stress urinary incontinence in patients with (hyper)mobile urethra. Postoperative continence rates are achieved in up to 95%. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial: Comparison of the Retropubic (TVT) With the Transobturator (outside-in T.O.T. Monarc or Inside-out TVT-O) Sling Operation in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence or Stress Dominated Mixed Urinary Incontinence

The midurethral tension-free vaginal tape (a macroporous polypropylene mesh) procedure is a well established technique for treating female stress urinary incontinence in patients with (hyper)mobile urethra. Postoperative continence rates are achieved in up to 95%. Currently, several anatomical approaches are developed and investigated to simplify this minimal invasive technique and make it safer. While the retropubic approach consists of the passage of the needles from under the midurethra up behind the pubic bone through the cavum retzii, the transobturator technique traverses the foramina obturatoria. Intraoperative complications like bladder perforation (in 4%) can be treated conservatively, while postoperative complications like voiding dysfunction (urinary outlet obstruction in up to 16% or urinary retention) are troublesome, impair the quality of life and require occasionally surgical sling release (transection of the sling). The aim of this study is to compare quality of life, postoperative voiding dysfunction, success rates and tape position after retropubic and transobturator sling procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing midurethral sling procedure in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by David Scheiner at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: higher incidence of pain related sexual dysfunction in the TO arm). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urodynamic stress urinary incontinence measurement (time frame: December 2009). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2015.
