Description
Summary:Obesity is a key factor for stress urinary incontinence. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term, subjective surgical satisfaction rate among obese (BMI ≥ 30) women after mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedure in a tertiary-level university hospital. This retrospective, case-control study compared the outcomes of obese and non-obese patients who underwent MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), March 2014–January 2020. Patients were followed-up using Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) telephone questionnaires. Among 264 patients who had MUS surgery, 107 (40.6%) patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 were matched with 157 (59.4%) non-obese patients (BMI 33.33 points).
