TVT: seventeen year follow up and the shrinking denominator effect

Carl Heneghan I am at the Ideal Conference, at a workshop talking about clinical trial reporting and recent surgical scandals. I chose the 17 years follow-up of the Tension-free Vaginal Tape – often quoted – as one example of the significant problems with long-term outcome reporting. Here is what the Oxford Clinical Commissioning Group report: ‘it confers a high prospect of long term cure (published 17 year data shows 70-80% long term efficacy) with a low risk of complication;’ the Cochrane review on mid-urethral review reports: ‘Observational studies of MUS show data confirming effectiveness in the long term with some data that cover 15 to 17 years’ and a literature review on De Novo Urgency reports: ‘the reported success rates for this procedure are high, results reported at seventeen year’s follow up indicate a 90% objective cure.’ UGSA 2018 Debate - Dr Marcus Carey.

The effectiveness of the SMUS is comparable to that of the historical gold standards—autologous fascial slings and the Burch colposuspension. Much controversy, however, has evolved regarding the safety of this type of sling. Overall, the quality of the studies with respect to assessing risks of SMUS-associated complications is currently poor. The most common risks in patients with SMUS include urethral obstruction requiring surgery (2.3% of patients with SMUS), vaginal, bladder and/or urethral erosion requiring surgery (1.8%) and refractory chronic pain (4.1%); these data likely represent the minimum risks.

In addition, the failure rate of SMUS implantation surgery is probably at least 5% in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Developing Repair Materials for Stress Urinary Incontinence to Withstand Dynamic Distension. Abstract Background Polypropylene mesh used as a mid-urethral sling is associated with severe clinical complications in a significant minority of patients.

Developing Repair Materials for Stress Urinary Incontinence to Withstand Dynamic Distension

Current in vitro mechanical testing shows that polypropylene responds inadequately to mechanical distension and is also poor at supporting cell proliferation. Official figures show the true complication rate of #mesh in England is 8.56% not 1-3% as quoted in NHS literature. Alles over gezondheid binnen handbereik. Screen-Shot-2016-01-15-at-8.44.26-AM.

Acute In Vivo Response to an Alternative Implant for Urogynecology. Safety considerations for synthetic sling surgery. 000011.pdf. Editorial - What is the role of mid-urethral slings in the management of stress incontinence in women? Urinary incontinence is very common in women: about 40% have persistent urinary incontinence after childbirth.[1] Urine leakage can affect quality of life, including social activities, work, psychological wellbeing, and sexual relationships.
