The effect of time to release of an obstructing synthetic mid‐urethral sling on repeat surgery for stress urinary incontinence

Abstract

The repeat surgery rate for SUI was 14%. The rate of recurrent SUI was 49%. Most of these women were significantly bothered. On multivariate analysis, longer interval to sling release was associated with decreased likelihood of repeat surgery for SUI. The reason for a low repeat surgery rate for SUI despite a high rate of bothersome SUI should be explored in future studies. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:349-353, 2017. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
