Özet

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the sexual function and quality of life in female patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) after undergoing transobturator tape (TOT) or TOT with POP surgery and perineoplasty. Material and Methods: This prospective study population (n=86) consisted of sexually active women who had been diagnosed with SUI. Forty-six patients diagnosed with SUI with no POP (group 1) underwent TOT procedure only. Forty patients had a diagnosis of stage 2 and higher POP, based on POP quantification system with SUI (group 2). The second group was randomized as TOT -POP surgery (n=20) and TOT -POP surgery with perineoplasty (n=20). Prior to and six months after the surgical procedure, all female participants underwent assessment using the validated Urinary Distress Pre -Operative Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ). Results: Post -operative IIQ-7 and UDI-6 scores were significantly lower for all three groups compared to the preoperative period, while a significant increase was observed in PISQ scores (p<0.01). The dissimilarity in preoperative and postoperative IIQ-7 and UDI-6 scores exhibited comparable results across the groups, whereas the variance in PISQ scores was notably greater in the TOT + POP surgery + perineoplasty group (p=0.03). Conclusion: Women with SUI or SUI with POP have better quality of life and sexual dysfunction after surgery. Perineoplasty may enhance sexual life in patients with perineal defect and vaginal enlargement.
