Chapter 4.1 60 In one case series of 133 women, 11 (8.3%) patients whose symptoms were cured or improved, developed recurrence of their primary symptoms during a follow-up period of 1 year.107 In 5 of these women, who agreed to further surgery, the tape was found released from the side of the vaginal vault. After refixation, they were continent again. Another six participants refused second-look laparoscopy; so the reason for recurrence could not be assessed. Therefore, recurrence of MUI or UUI postoperatively based on tape disruptions is at best 3.7% (5/133) and 8.3% (11/133) in worst case scenario. Considering further incontinence reinterventions, five case series reported on 216/555 (38.9%) subsequent TOT procedures for persisting, worsening, or de novo SUI.37,107,108,110,124 Certainty assessment of the five NRS reporting on urinary incontinence led to a moderate level of evidence, and the one RCT comparing CESA or VASA to solifenacin administration was of low quality.

When an additional TOT was performed cure rates improved to76% (66/87) for MUI and 84% (26/31) for UUI. Prolapse symptoms Four studies reported on prolapse symptoms.37,110,123,124 One case series including 93 women reported on prolapse symptoms at 1-year follow-up.124 The mean ICIQ-VS score for vaginal symptoms improved from 27.9 at baseline to 5.8 (mean difference = -22.05, CI95%: -23.63-20.47). The mean effect on quality-of-life score improved from 8.4 to 1.4 (mean difference = -6.96, CI95%: -6.47-7.44) and 56% of women had a global impression much better or very much better at 1-year follow-up.
