Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common health problem affecting 12-44% of women. Moreover, frequently, more than one pelvic floor dysfunction is seen simultaneously. Midurethral sling operations are often combined with concurrent pelvic reconstructive surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the concomitant pelvic floor surgery with TOT (transobturator tape) has a negative effect on operative success, peroperative complications and long-term results. In this retrospective cohort study, the early and long-term results of 79 patients who underwent TOT procedure for genuine or predominant stress urinary incontinence between 2012 and 2017 were evaluated. The data of 47 patients who underwent TOT procedure and 32 patients who underwent simultaneous vaginal surgeries were compared in terms of objective success, complications, recurrence rate and long-term results. The data were evaluated in the statistical package program IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA).
