PURPOSE: to compare sling operations of aponeurosis and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the correction of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) regarding: the rates of subjective and objective healing, the mobility of the bladder neck with ultrasonography, the variation of the absorbent test, the urodynamic alterations and the incidence of complications. METHODS: eighty patients with SUI were selected. Among them, 61 underwent a TVT surgery and 19, an abdominal rectum sling operation of aponeurosis. Average age, index of body mass and parity were 50.1 years old, 29.7 kg/m² and 4.1 deliveries (median=3) for the patients with aponeurosis sling, and 51.7 years old, 28.1 kg/m² and 4.1 deliveries (median=3) for the ones with TVT. All of them have undergone anamnesis, physical examination, bladder neck ultrasonography, absorbent test and urodynamic evaluation before and at least six months after the surgery. After 15 or 19 months and after about four or five years, they were again interviewed concerning the surgery results. RESULTS: after six months, 96.7% of the women with TVT and 89.5% of the ones with sling thought they were healed in the subjective evaluation. Nevertheless, after 15 to 19 months, the TVT Group kept the same subjective healing rate, while among the Sling Group the rate decreased to 77.8%. There was a significant decrease in the mobility of the neck bladder that was similar in both groups and an improvement in the absorbent test. At the end of the urodynamic study, 93.4% of the women from the TVT Group and 78.9% of the ones from the Sling Group were classified as having an objective healing. The average time of bladder probing was higher in the Sling Group. Urinary retention was observed in 42.1% of the sling cases and in 9.8% of the TVT's. The rates of late healing were 90% for TVT and 55.6% for sling. CONCLUSIONS: TVT surgery provided better subjective healing after 15 or 19 months, but the rate of objective healing was the same in both techniques at that time. Among the complications detected, the urinary retention was higher in the Sling Group, in the post-surgery period.

Purpose: to evaluate the frequency of urinary disorders and variation of the urodynamic parameters according to the time of post-menopause. Method: two hundred forty-two post-menopausal women with urinary complaints were studied at the Division of Gynecology, Escola Paulista de Medicina, UNIFESP. They were grouped according to the time of post-menopause: group A - up to 4 years; group B - 5 to 9 years and group C - more than 10 years. They were submitted to anamnesis, gynecological examination and urodynamic study. The frequency of urinary alterations and the variation of the urodynamic parameters were analyzed, such as voiding volume; flow time; maximum flow rate, average flow rate; residual urine; vesical capacity at the first desire to void; maximum bladder capacity; maximum urethral closure pressure and functional profile length, with full and empty bladder. The data were statistically analyzed. Results: the most common clinical diagnosis was stress urinary incontinence in the three groups, but the longer the time of post-menopause, the more frequently urinary urgency was observed. Regarding urodynamic diagnosis, 93.6%, 84.6% and 90.7% of the patients of the groups A, B and C, respectively, presented stress urinary incontinence, while 4.8%, 13.5% and 6.2% revealed detrusor instability. There was a decrease in the following urodynamic parameters, according to the time of post-menopause: flow time, maximum flow rate and vesical capacity at the first desire to void, and an increase of the residual urine. Conclusion: in spite of the high incidence of urinary symptoms such as urgency incontinence, stress urinary incontinence was the main urinary problem we have found in post-menopause.
