여성의복압성요실금치료를위한변형된수술법인 Canal Transobturator Tape 에대한예비보고 Preliminary Report on a Modified Surgical Technique Using Canal Transobturator Tape for the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence Sung Hoon Lee, Tae Beom Kim, Khae Hawn Kim, Han Jung, Min Sung Lee, Sang Jin Yoon From the Department of Urology, Gil Medical Center, Gachon University of Medicine and Science, Incheon, Korea Purpose: Canal transobturator tape (TOT) was developed to reduce the complications of TOT by modifying the sling procedure of TOT with using a distal urethral polypropylene sling (DUPS). The aim of this present study was to describe a modified surgical technique for the treatment of female urodynamic stress urinary incontinence and to assess the objective and subjective efficacy of Canal TOT. Materials and Methods: Between October 2006 and November 2007, 87 female patients with stress urinary incontinence were enrolled in this retrospective study. All the patients underwent the Canal TOT procedure. The Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) and the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) were used to evaluate the surgical outcomes. Results: The mean operative time for Canal TOT was 22.4 minutes (range: 15-39). During the surgery, there were 10% intraoperative and postopreative complications, including De novo urgency (n=3), weak stream (n=4) and difficult emptying (n=2). Yet all these complications occurred in the short-term and they were transient. Concomitant procedures were performed, including cystocele repair (n=7), rectocele repair (n=5), rectocele and cystocele repair (n=14), laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (n=5) and total vaginal hysterectomy (n=1). The average follow-up was 4.5 months (range: 3-12). Both the mean IIQ-7 and UDI-6 scores significantly decreased after Canal TOT and all the patients showed significant improvement of their subjective symptoms of stress incontinence. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that Canal TOT may be a safe and effective surgical method for treating urodynamic stress incontinence in Korean women and this procedure provides a high cure rate.

TOT 술식은좌골치골가지의후면을따라서폐쇄공을통하여진입하기때문에치골후경로를통과하는 TVT 술식보다방광, 장, 신경및혈관손상의위험이적으며, 또한테이프가폐쇄혈관및신경과거리를두고통과하기때문에이들구조물에대한손상위험도적다. 17 또한 TOT 술식은 TVT 술식보다요도주위에대한압박이적어요폐증상이더적게나타난다. 18 Seok 등 19 의경우에도 TOT 술식후 14% 에서경도의배뇨곤란을호소하였는데, 이는 Mazouni 등 20 이 TVT 술식이후발생했다고보고한 60% 의배뇨곤란보다낮았다. TOT 술식에는 outside-in 방식의 Monarc와 inside-out 방식의 TVT-O의두가지방식이있으며, Monarc 는질전벽의중앙절개후양측폐쇄공내측까지박리하고검지를통하여터널기구를인도하기때문에 TVT-O에비해질전벽의박리가넓어져질손상및미란, 또는요도손상에노출될가능성이있으나터널기구가통과하는위치부터폐쇄혈관이나신경이지나가는폐쇄관까지거리가 Monarc가 TVT-O보다멀기때문에보다더안전하였다. 21 Rodreguez와 Raz 5,6 는치골요도인대 (pubourethral ligaments), 요도압박근 (compressor urethrae), 요도질괄약근 (urethrovaginal sphincter), 원위요도 (distal urethra) 후벽 (posterior wall) 과연결된골반지지근육 (levator muscle) 등으로구성된원위요도복합체 (distal urethral complex) 개념을 2003년에소개하였으며, 이러한원위요도복합체가요도의수동적, 능동적인긴장도를조절하는것으로보고하였다. 원위요도부위 는치골에더근접하여있어, 원위요도슬링은요도후방을지지하여원위요도부위의부분적인저항을증가시키고복압증가시요도에서골반근육 (levator muscle) 의지지효과를증가시키며중부요도와원위요도, 그리고방광경부가저항없이유지된다. 수술후에발생하는배뇨장애의한형태로수술의만족도에부정적인영향을미치는새로발생한요절박 (de novo urgency) 의경우 DUPS (0-7.2%), 22,23 Burch colposuspension (22.2%), 24 pubovaginal sling (19%), 25 TVT (6-14.5%) 23,26 로원위요도슬링술식이다른술식에비해부작용이적은것으로보고되었다. 이에원위요도복합체개념을후치골통로에적용한 DUPS에서폐쇄공통로로전환한 Canal TOT를시행하여, 초기자료 (preliminary data) 를수집하였으며본연구에서의수술후새로발생한요절박의경우 3% 의빈도를보였다. Canal TOT는질전벽의양측에절개를하기때문에 Monarc보다총절개부위는더넓지만양측폐쇄공내측까지검지의접근이쉬워고도비만등의드문경우에더수술이용이하고, 터널기구의질손상여부확인이용이하며양측절개부위사이에터널을만들고테이프를위치하여수술후에테이프의위치가이동하지않게되고, 드물지만 Monarc 수술후질전벽의넓은박리로인하여테이프의위치가중부요도에서방광경부로이동하여발생하는요실금증상과동반된배뇨장애가나타나지않았다. 저자들이시행한 87례의 Canal TOT의경우요실금수술의일반적인합병증인창상감염, 요로감염, 혈종형성, 방광천공, 장손상, 혈관또는신경손상, 질미란, 요도손상등은보이지않았으며, 수술후일시적인절박뇨, 약한배뇨및배뇨장애소견이있었으나, 장기적인배뇨장애및합병증은나타나지않았다. 중부요도슬링의 TOT와비교했을때전질벽에 2개의절개창을사용한다는것이논쟁이될수는있으나양쪽절개창을통하여터널을만들어테이프를위치하여테이프가원위요도에잘위치할수있도록하며, 양측절개창에서테이프를움직여서장력을잘조절할수있으며, 수술후의
이성훈외 : 여성의복압성요실금치료, Canal Transobturator Tape 1123 배뇨장애와성교통은일시적으로는나타났으나 3개월이후에는나타나지않았다. 질전벽의양쪽절개선을봉합하고나면, 봉합선이보이지않고촉지되지않아술후환자의주관적인만족도가높았다. 실제적인배뇨증상을측정하는 UDI-6에서대부분의환자들이모든항목에서요실금증세가유의하게호전되었으며 (Table 4), 요실금으로인한일상생활에서의불편감을측정하는 IIQ-7에서또한환자들의불편감이유의하게호전되었다 (Table 3). 결 변형된 TOT방법인 Canal TOT를이용한여성복압성요실금의수술은약 1년간의추적조사에서의환자만족도에서우수한성적을보였다. 수술후합병증도거의나타나지않았으며, 주관적만족도에서대부분의환자들이요실금증세가없어졌다고하였으며, 일상생활에서의불편감또한유의하게감소하였다. 그러나장기추적검사및기존의중부요도를이용한 TOT와충분한비교분석이아직부족한상태이므로추가적인연구가필요할것으로생각한다. 론 REFERENCES 1.
