AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique, results and follow-up of dynamic rectus abdominis tendon colposuspension (DRTC) in the management of female stress @entity322 (SUI). @entity1 AND METHODS: Eighteen @entity1 with SUI were studied prospectively from 1998 to 1999 who underwent DRTC. @entity3142 @entity1 with or without mild to moderate cystocoele were included in the study. A complete preoperative work-up was done as described in detail in this article. Follow-up assessment was done at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months and then annually involving a SEAPI quality-of-life score, a satisfaction questionnaire, urge symptoms and assessment of dryness. RESULTS: Mean follow-up of these 18 @entity1 was 20 +/- 6 months. Cure of symptoms and dryness was achieved in 16/18 (89%) of the @entity1 . Four of 9 @entity1 had residual urge symptoms and 2 developed de novo urge, which settled by 3 months; no @entity1 required long-term anticholinergics. Three @entity1 required clean self-intermittent catheterization (CSIC) immediately postoperatively but only 1 @entity1 continued to perform CSIC after 3 months. Mean operating time was 41 +/- 10 min and mean hospital stay was 3.5 +/- 1 days. There were two failures, one in a @entity1 with a @entity1494 and one in a @entity1 with multiple previous pelvic operations. One so-called failure uses <2 pads/day postoperatively with an improvement in both symptom and dryness score. @entity260 include blood transfusion in 1, @entity281 in 1 @entity1 . All the @entity1 with initial good results showed persistent results over follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: DRTC is a simple procedure with minimal morbidity showing good results, which are consistent on follow-up.
