Trans Vaginal Tape is a minimally invasive procedure for women who suffer from stress urinary incontinence. In Trans Vaginal Tape, the urinary bladder and urethra are repaired, strengthened and returned to its original position in the pelvis. The surgery takes only 30 to 45 minutes and it can be performed under sedation with local anesthesia, though many surgeons may prefer the use of regional or general anesthesia. The tape is surgically inserted through a small incision in the vagina and then it is woven through pelvic tissue and positioned underneath the urethra. The tape is then pulled up through two tiny incisions in the skin’s surface just above the pubic area. As it passes through several pelvic tissue layers, friction is created which initially holds the tape in place. Over time your body tissue grows into the mesh which permanently secures it. The surgeon will evaluate whether the tape is providing adequate support by asking you to cough and any necessary adjustments can be made right then and there. At the end of the procedure the tape is trimmed just under the skin’s surface and the tiny incisions closed. All you will see are two adhesive bandages. The TVT procedure is appropriate for most all patients including overweight patients, elderly patients and even those who have gone through previous operations for stress urinary incontinence. As with any surgery of this kind, this procedure should not be performed on pregnant women. Also, because the mesh-like tape will not stretch significantly, it should not be considered by women who plan a future pregnancy. Only a complete physical examination and consult with your physician can determine if it is right for you. The TVT procedure has been proven to effectively treat SUI. In fact, 85% of women treated in clinical trials remained completely dry, while another 11% experienced significant improvement. Furthermore, the surgery appears to “last” as demonstrated by studies that have followed patients for five years.
