Normal Preoperative Urodynamic Testing Does Not Predict Voiding Dysfunction After Burch Colposuspension Versus Pubovaginal Sling

Abstract

In this carefully selected group preoperative urodynamic studies did not predict postoperative voiding dysfunction or the risk of surgical revision in the pubovaginal sling group. Our findings may be limited by the stringent exclusion criteria and studying a group believed to be at greater risk for voiding dysfunction could alter these findings. Additional analysis using subjective measures to define voiding dysfunction is warranted to further determine the ability of urodynamic studies to stratify the risk of postoperative voiding dysfunction, which appears to be limited in the current study.
