Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study is to evaluate women with urge syndrome following pubovaginal sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence using a polypropylene mesh. METHODS: A total of 292 cases were available to compare preoperative and postoperative videourodynamic parameters. RESULTS: There were 142 women (48.6%) with urge syndrome before operation and 92 (31.5%) with urge syndrome after pubovaginal sling procedure. Urge syndrome was persistent in 79 women, resolved in 63, and de novo urge syndrome was noted in 13. Urodynamic detrusor overactivity (DO) was present in 67 (22.9%) women before operation and in 47 (16.1%) after operation. DO was persistent in 29, resolved in 38, and de novo DO in 18 after operation. Among the 18 women with de novo DO, 15 (83.3%) had preoperative urge syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Of patients with urge syndrome after pubovaginal sling procedure, 85.9% had a chronic condition, and 83.3% of patients with de novo DO had preoperative urge syndrome.
