Dilemma
SUI may occur following prolapse repair
How often? Following which type of prolapse repair? Can we predict who will get it? What should we do about it?
Despite lack of level 1 evidence to support this approach !!! But what about.
No preoperative SUI & prolapse - 10-30 % of patients at risk of de novo SUI
Evidence in literature
3rd International Consultation on Incontinence: Level I Evidence:
None supporting any type of Rx in this scenario
Level II Evidence:
Incontinence & voiding dysfunction may follow POP surgery and these outcomes are variable and unpredictable
The question is to sling or not in a dry patient without clinical, urodynamic or occult incontinence.
All patients with high grade cystocele should also have a sling
We agree that a sling should be done if the patient has preoperative clinical, urodynamic or occult stress urinary incontinence What to do if no preop. SUI
stress
test
with
17% had postop. SUI 17% 35% had postop. SUI 35%
Regardless of preoperative result of reduction stress test: post op scores were significant worse if Burch procedure was not done ( 6% vs. 24%)
- De-novo urge incontinence: 10-16% - Urinary retention: 2-10% (not with TOT) It would we be great to have a sling procedure that is effective, with minimal complications of retention, erosion or overactive bladder
Transvaginal bladder neck slings repair were associated with reduction in risk of recurrent cystocele
