@entity1 @entity9618 @entity322 @entity7502 @entity2701
We report the results of the release and tape-shortening techniques in @entity7502 pubovaginal slings. Of female @entity1 who had undergone mid-urethral sling procedures [ @entity2701 -free vaginal tape procedure and suburethral @entity7502 ( @entity9618 )], in cases in which postoperative retention occurred, the @entity1 were offered release or tape cutting. @entity1 reporting postoperative @entity322 underwent a tape-shortening procedure. In these @entity1 , the tape was shortened by the use of clips. Mean follow-up time after the release and/or the shortening operations was 9.9 months (range 6-18). A total of 15 @entity1 , ranging from 41 to 75 years old (mean 58.3) were included in this study. Upon the latest follow-up, six @entity1 exhibited prolonged urinary retention and subsequently underwent a release procedure (n=5) or a tape-cutting procedure (n=1). After the release procedure, all @entity1 remained continent, but one @entity1 's urinary retention issues were not resolved, and she subsequently underwent a tape-cutting. Both of the @entity1 who underwent the cutting procedure then developed recurrent stress @entity322 . The tape-shortening technique was conducted with nine @entity1 . Seven of these @entity1 recovered their continence, and no one @entity1 experienced any urinary retention or other voiding difficulties. Two @entity1 reported only minimal stress leakage and elected to undergo no further interventions. Our findings suggest that @entity2701 plays a substantial role in @entity2701 -free mid-urethral sling procedures.
