OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effects of bariatric surgery on pelvic floor mediated quality of life in morbidly obese women. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of 44 women undergoing bariatric surgery. RESULTS: Thirty-six women gave data at baseline and at mean follow-up of 3.15 years following bariatric surgery. Although urinary impact questionnaire scores improved (-34.92, P = .0020), colorectal-anal impact questionnaire and pelvic organ prolapse impact questionnaire scores did not improve despite significant weight loss. Baseline female sexual function index scores were low (17.70 ± 8.38) and did not improve with weight loss (16.91 ± 9.75, P = .5832). Pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire scores did improve (35.78 ± 6.06 preoperatively vs 38.22 ± 6.03 postoperatively, P = .0193). CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery is associated with significant improvement in the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. Sexual function was poor, and improved only on the pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire that evaluated urinary incontinence. Published by Mosby, Inc.
