Effect of hysterectomy on re-operation for stress urinary incontinence: 10 year follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Hysterectomy and mid-urethral sling (MUS) are common operations, but little is known about how hysterectomy after MUS affects the risk for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) relapse.

Methods

We included 49 women with a MUS before hysterectomy and 41 women with a MUS concomitant with hysterectomy. The controls, matched by age (± 2 years), MUS type (retropubic vs transobturator) and operation year (± 2 years), included 201 women who underwent the MUS operation without a subsequent hysterectomy. We used health care registers for follow-up of 12.4 years in median (IQR 10.9-14.7) after the MUS operation to compare the number of SUI re-operations and hospital re-visits for urinary incontinence.

Results

The re-operation rates for SUI did not differ between the women w
