OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the operative time, surgical complications and @entity1 outcomes of the TOT surgery performed by an experienced surgeon compared to those performed by a senior resident under proper supervision by a senior surgeon. @entity1 AND METHODS: A prospective, open label, randomized study was conducted at the department of urogynecology of the Ministry of Health Ankara Etlik Maternity and @entity1 's Health Teaching Research Hospital between June 2003-June 2004. The study included 60 @entity1 who had stress urinary @entity322 . @entity1 were randomly allocated to either the TOT surgery performed by an experienced surgeon group (Group 1, n=30) or the TOT surgery performed by a senior resident under proper supervision by a senior surgeon group (Group 2, n=30). The operative time, @entity260 , intraoperative @entity190 and the effectivity of the TOT procedure were recorded by a senior surgeon who did not participate to the operation. RESULTS: The study was completed by 55 @entity1 . Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. The mean operative time was significantly long in Group 2 compared with Group 1 (27 min [15-48]; 13 min [7-22], respectively). There was no difference between the Groups 1 and 2 in terms of the @entity260 . No @entity1494 was noted in Group 1. One @entity1494 was observed in Group 2 and the bladder was repaired in the usual form by the assisting senior surgeon. Urinary retention was observed in two @entity1 in Group 2 and the tapes were cut 7 days after the operation. Both of the @entity1 have been dry since the intervention. The mean follow up period was 30 months. After the follow up period, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of cure, partial recovery and failure between two groups. CONCLUSION: There is no difference in the outcome when TOT is performed by residents under proper supervision.
