Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effectivenessof transobturator vaginal tape (TOT) in the treatment of femalestress urinary incontinence (SUI) and to analyze functional resultsand quality of life after 24 months follow-up.Methods: The study included all women with SUI who underwenta TOT procedure in which the sling passes from the obturatorforamen from the outside to the inside, under general or regionalanesthesia from December 2004 to January 2006. All study patientsmust have had a minimal follow-up of 24 months. The patientswere prospectively evaluated, and the following factors wereassessed: number of pads used per day, physical examinationincluding pelvic examination, urinalysis, urogenital distress inventory(UDI-6), analog global satisfaction scale (GSS), pad weighttest, and urodynamic studies including filling cystometry andValsalva leak point pressure (VLPP) test.Results: Fifty-two consecutive patients who fulfilled the inclusioncriteria underwent TOT procedure by 1 surgeon. The mean agewas 50 ±9 (range 37-72) and minimal follow-up was 24 months(range 24-30 months). Two patients were lost to follow-up after12 months and 3 patients did not come for the 24-month evaluation.The mean operative time was 18 minutes ±4 (range 15-31),with an average amount of bleeding 57 cc ±22cc. Our resultsdemonstrate a 92% cure or improvement rate after 12 months,and an 85% after 24 months.Conclusion: The transobturator approach from outside to inside isa very effective treatment of SUI with low morbidity. However,longer follow-up in larger populations should assess the longtermreliability of this procedure.Objectif : L’objectif de notre étude est d’évaluer l’efficacité de labandelette transobturatrice mise en place par voie vaginale dans letraitement de l’incontinence urinaire d’effort (IUE) et d’analyser lesrésultats fonctionnels et la qualité de vie après un suivi de 24 mois.Méthodologie : Notre étude a inclus toutes les femmes atteintesd’IUE chez qui on avait posé une bandelette transobturatrice passantpar le trou obturateur de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur, sousanesthésie générale ou régionale entre décembre 2004 et janvier2006. Toutes les patientes devaient avoir été suivies pendant unminimum de 24 mois après l’intervention. Les patientes étaientévaluées de façon prospective, et les facteurs suivants ont étéévalués : nombre de culottes de protection contre les fuites urinairesutilisées chaque jour, examen physique comprenant unexamen pelvien, analyse d’urines, questionnaire UDI-6 (urogenitaldistress inventory), échelle analogique de satisfaction globale,test du poids de la culotte de protection, et études urodynamiquescomprenant une cystométrie de remplissage et une évaluation duseuil de pression de fuite de Valsalva (méthode VLPP).Résultats : Cinquante-deux patientes consécutives répondant auxcritères d’inclusion se sont vu poser une bandelette transobturatricepar le même chirurgien. L’âge moyen était de 50 ans ± 9 (de37 à 72 ans) et le suivi minimal était de 24 mois (de 24 à 30 mois).Deux patientes avaient été perdues de vue lors du suivi après12 mois et 3 patientes ne se sont pas présentées à l’évaluation au24e mois. La durée moyenne de l’intervention était de 18 minutes± 4 (de 15 à 31 minutes), et la quantité moyenne de sang perdude 57 mL ± 22. Nos résultats montrent un taux de guérison oud’amélioration de 92 % après 12 mois, et de 85 % après 24 mois.Conclusion : La technique de la bandelette transobturatrice poséede l’extérieur vers l’intérieur est un traitement très efficace del’IUE accompagnée d’un faible taux de morbidité. Cependant, unsuivi plus long avec des cohortes plus importantes est requis pourévaluer la fiabilité à long terme de cette intervention.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
