[The free synthetic loop in the treatment of urinary stress incontinence in women: comparative analysis of postoperative complications].

Operations with application of a free synthetic loop were made in 504 female patients with urinary stress incontinence (USI). The patients were divided into two groups. Patients after TVT operation, not operated with reconstruction of the pelvic fundus entered group 1 (n = 207). Patients after TVT-0 operations (n = 109) entered group 2. The data were processed with the criterium chi-square, significance was stated in p < = 0.05. The following intra- and postoperative complications were registered: de novo imperative symptoms, pelvic hematoma, perforation of the urinary bladder. The latter complication occurred in 1 (0.48%) patient of group 1 and in none from group 2. Pelvic hematomas were in 2.9 and 0.92% patients, respectively. De novo imperative symptoms were observed in 2.9 and 1.83%, respectively. It was stated that differences in complications between the groups were insignificant. Further multicenter controlled randomized studies are necessary.
