Associations Between Childbirth and Urinary Incontinence After Midurethral Sling Surgery EDITORIAL COMMENT

摘要

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disorder in women. Its highest prevalence in women is between 25 and 49 years of age. Because many afflicted women are of fertile age, they may be exposed to future deliveries. With use of midurethral sling surgery, a minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of SUI, objective and objective cure rates range from 75% and 94%. Because a future pregnancy is considered by many clinicians to be a relative contraindication for incontinence surgery, it is often recommended that surgery be postponed until after childbearing is completed, or cesarean delivery be the preferred mode of delivery for a woman with a prior midurethral sling procedure. However, there is scarce evidence to substantiate any recommendations. Previous studies evaluating pregnancy after SUI surgery were small case reports or case series or reviews with the same methodological limitations.
