The objective of the study was to obtain a prospective assessment of the efficacy and the complications associated with the use of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the management of urodynamic stress incontinence at 5- and 7-year follow-up. Sixty-five female patients with stage I cystocele or less who have been operated with TVT procedure for management of urodynamic stress incontinence have been included in the study. At 5-year follow-up, the objective cure rate was 83% and failure rate 9.4%. At 7-year follow-up, the objective cure rate was 80% and the failure rate 13.5%. De novo detrusor overactivity was seen in 9.4% and 11.4% of patients at 5- and 7-year follow-up, respectively. TVT operation is an effective and safe minimally invasive procedure for the management of urodynamic stress incontinence in women without significant cystocele in the long-term follow-up. The 10- and 20-year results are awaited.
