Changes in Urgency Urinary Incontinence Symptoms After Stress Urinary Incontinence Surgery in Women

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the prevalence of improvement and deterioration in urgency urinary incontinence symptoms following surgical treatment for stress or mixed urinary incontinence in women. Their findings indicate that 79% of women experienced improvement in urgency symptoms after tension-free vaginal tape surgery, compared to 54% after periurethral injection therapy, while also noting that a small percentage developed new urgency incontinence post-surgery. The study emphasizes the importance of preoperative counseling regarding potential changes in urinary symptoms, especially for women without prior urgency issues.
