Incontinence Surgery and Urodynamics Parameters

In Patients Who Underwent Incontinence Surgery and Who Had Postoperative Recurrence Comparison of Urodynamics Parameters Performed in Preoperative and Postoperative Period

In patients who have previously had incontinence surgery due to stress incontinence (Midurethral slings (tvt, tot, etc.)), the symptoms may return in the following years and the patient can reapply with urinary incontinence. Urodynamic evaluation is important before stress incontinence surgery to confirm clinical diagnosis based on symptoms and findings and to determine the factors that may affect the effectiveness of surgery and the possibility of complications. Urodynamics evaluation is performed in the preoperative period in patients scheduled for incontinence. Urodynamics evaluation is performed again in patients who applied with post-operative recurrence due to surgery failure or different reasons.

It is aimed to show whether there is a difference between the urodynamics parameters of these patients who were examined preoperatively and the urodynamics parameters examined in case of postoperative failure. Thus, the primary goal; to show which of these parameters has deterioration or if the surgical method is insufficient if it is within certain limits or urinary incontinence may recur.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have previously undergone surgery for stress incontinence
• Those who are symptomatic again in their post-operative follow-up (urinary incontinence),
• Patients who underwent preoperative and postoperative urodynamics

Exclusion Criteria:
