Comparative Study of PDVF and Polypropylene Transobturator Suburethral Tapes

Multicentric Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Polyvinylidene Fluoride and Polypropylene Transobturator Suburethral Tapes in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence.

This study evaluates the effectiveness and complications of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polypropylene (PP) transobturator suburethral tapes (TOTs) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Half of participants will be operated with PVDF-TOTs, while the other half will be operated with PP ones.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effectiveness
Time Frame: One year

Percentage of patients who are regarded as cured or improved one-year after surgery with both techniques based on the following criteria:

  • CURED: negative cough stress test and patient must be fully satisfied with the operation (no leaks, no voiding dysfunction, and no use of urinary protection); Patient Global Impresison of Improvement (PGI-I) scale must be "Very much better".
  • IMPROVED: cough stress test had to be negative and the patient moderately satisfied with the result of surgery due to an increase in urinary frequency and/or sporadic urgency episodes; PGI-I must be "Much better" or "A little better".
One year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events
Time Frame: Up to one year.
Comparison of the intra- and postoperative complications between both procedures.
Up to one year.

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in subjective questionnaires of incontinence severity
Time Frame: One year

Change in the punctuation of the following questionnaires comparing before surgery and one year after operation:

  • International consultation on Incontinence Urinary Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF).
