Pregnancy and delivery after mid-urethral sling operation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and hypotheses

There is no consensus regarding pregnancy after mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation, and some clinicians recommend postponing the MUS operation if a woman considers further pregnancies or routinely suggest cesarean section as the delivery method after MUS operations. Our primary aim was to assess the risk for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) re-procedure after delivery in women with a MUS operation prior to pregnancy. We also analyzed SUI re-visits and MUS-related complications during pregnancy and postpartum.

Methods

We conducted a register-based case-control study of women with a MUS operation in Finland during 1996-2016. We identified 94 cases with a subsequent pregnancy and 330 controls without subsequent pregnancies matched by age, operation
