Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in urinary incontinence (UI) before and after surgery for obesity in female patients and to identify factors related to the remission of symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study with female patients over 18 years old who underwent surgery for obesity and weight-related diseases between June 2016 and September 2017. Urinary symptoms and quality of life related to UI were assessed based on a structured interview and the results of the validated questionnaires. RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-one patients were assessed pre-operatively, and 118 (53.3%) reported UI. Eighty-eight patients (74.6%) completed the pre- and postoperative questionnaires. After 6 to 12 months, patients were revaluated, and 50 (56.8%) were considered to be in remission of urinary symptoms. Women who had only a cesarean birth had a 117% increase in the probability of achieving remission of UI compared with women who had both vaginal and cesarean deliveries, and patients with an additional point in the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score at the beginning had a 4% lower probability of having remission of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Improvement in UI may be an important outcome of surgery for obesity and weight-related diseases. In this study, previous cesarean section was only associated with the highest rate of remission of symptoms, and patients with higher scores in the ICIQ-UI-SF had a lower probability of remission.
