INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study aims to compare the result of an incontinence procedure performed at the time of prolapse repair or 3 months later in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: In a multicenter prospective randomized trial, women with POP and SUI were randomized to have a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) at the time of prolapse repair (n = 87; group I) or 3 months later (n = 94; group II). Women in group II were evaluated for SUI 3 months after the prolapse repair. Those with confirmed SUI had a TVT performed (n = 53). The main evaluation of all women was 1 year after the last surgery. RESULTS: On-treatment analysis resulted in 95% cure of SUI in group I and 89% in group II (p = 0.12). Twenty-seven percent were cured after prolapse surgery alone. CONCLUSIONS: No differences were found between the two treatment strategies, but almost one third of women were cured of SUI by prolapse surgery alone.
