[Safety of TVT-O].

OBJECTIVE

Examine safety of TVT-O.

DESIGN

Experimental study.

SETTING

Gynekologicko-porodnická klinika 1. LF UK a VFN, Institute of Anatomy, Institute of Pathology LF U.K., Praha.

METHODS

We inserted TVT-O in fourteen formalin-embalmed bodies with legs mal-positioned. After dissection distances from the branches of obturator nerve to the inserter were measured.

RESULTS

In embalmed bodies, the mean distance to the anterior branch of the obturator nerve was 8.6 mm on the left, 7.1 mm on the right. Mean distance to the posterior branch of the obturator nerve was 8.4 mm on the left, 8.9 mm on the right.

CONCLUSION

The position of the legs is crucial for correct placement of TVT-O.
