Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of concomitant procedures performed for pelvic organ prolapse or vaginal reconstruction at the time of surgery for stress urinary incontinence in contemporary practice. METHODS: We recorded all concomitant procedures for pelvic organ prolapse or vaginal reconstruction in 264 women who underwent surgery for stress urinary incontinence at our institution from January 1995 to August 1997. RESULTS: Of 264 women, 111 (42%) had at least one concomitant procedure performed for pelvic organ prolapse or vaginal reconstruction, including 87 cystocele repairs, 31 rectocele repairs, 8 sacrospinous fixations, 5 enterocele repairs, 5 abdominal sacrocolpopexies, 4 perineoplasties, 3 urethral diverticulectomies, and 1 vaginal hysterectomy. Furthermore, 9% of patients had two or more procedures. CONCLUSIONS: We found that women who undergo surgery for stress urinary incontinence have a high incidence (42%) of associated pelvic organ prolapse requiring surgical repair. These additional repairs contribute to the overall success of surgery and should not be overlooked.
