| To characterize the anatomic relationships of clinically relevant structures in the retropubic space. |
| No more breast biopsies, bowel resections, hysterectomies, or radical retropubic prostatectomies due to cancer. |
| While the use of TOT has eliminated the serious retropubic risks, it has introduced a new set of complications. |
| Occlusive devices, such as pessaries, can mimic the effects of a retropubic urethropexy. |
| It is completed in a similar way with retropubic mesh sling procedure, and less invasive. |
| In considering the rationale for the introduction of TOT it must be remembered that serious retropubic complications from the TVT are rare. |
