Clinical TrialPredicting the need for anti-incontinence surgery in continent women undergoing repair of severe urogenital prolapse.
We determined the indications for anti-incontinence surgery in continent women undergoing surgical repair of severe urogenital prolapse. ⋯ Preoperative urodynamic evaluation with and without prolapse reduction is essential for making the correct diagnosis of masked stress incontinence in women with urogenital prolapse. The decision to perform a concomitant prophylactic anti-incontinence procedure should be tailored to individual urodynamic findings. Larger series and longer followup are needed to establish the most effective preventive procedure for this troublesome clinical problem.
