OBJECTIVE: To present our experience in the pelvic floor dysfunctions with the use of transvaginal tension-free mono-filament polypropylene bands placed in front of the obturator hole. METHODS: Between January, 2004 and December, 2009 a correction of pelvic floor dysfunctions in a total of 63 patients seen in the General Surgery Service of the "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" Teaching General Hospital. In all the cases the polypropylene bands were placed through the obturator hole (TVT-O) previous clinical functional assessment of the pelvic floor. RESULTS: The patients more involved were aged between 60 and 69. Previously, 21 patients were operated on. The more frequent complication was the urinary sepsis in 4 patients. All dysfunctions treated in the 100 % of patients were cured. There were not recurrences up to nowadays. CONCLUSIONS: Use of monofilament prosthetic polypropylene networks in integral correction of pelvic floor dysfunctions with polypropylene bands by free-tension technique was a safe and effective procedure.
