Sling mobilization in the management of urinary retention after mid‐urethral sling surgery

Abstract

Clinical trial registration was not applicable because this study is based on an analysis of anonymous data from The Norwegian Female Incontinence Registry. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:1091-1096, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Childbirth after mid-urethral sling surgery: effects on long-term success and complications

“…They were all considered clinically important and are often a part of the clinical notes in the patients' medical records in addition to the scanned questionnaire. Furthermore, these variables have frequently been used in research projects based on NFIR data [143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150].…”

The completeness and accuracy of the Norwegian Female Incontinence Registry

“…The accumulated data in such registries have also proven to be a valuable source for research. 4,5 However, data used in medical research need to be of high quality in order to draw valid and reliable conclusions. 6 In the present study, we therefore aimed to evaluate the completeness of the Norwegian Female Incontinence Registry and validate the accuracy of 10 selected key variables in the registry.…”

“…It is one of the oldest continuously recording medical quality registries within the field of urogynecology that provides annual reports analyzing a wide range of pre‐, per‐ and postoperative variables. The accumulated data in such registries have also proven to be a valuable source for research 4,5 . However, data used in medical research need to be of high quality in order to draw valid and reliable conclusions 6 …”

Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Early Sling Loosening Versus Delayed Sling Lysis in the Management of Voiding Dysfunction After Midurethral Sling Placement

“…Although synthetic sling placement has been demonstrated to be safe and efficacious, there are inherent risks 1,2 . Indeed, postoperative voiding dysfunction that persists at the 2-week mark is an issue that arises in an estimated 1–6% of sling placements 3–7 . Currently, there are no formal guidelines on the management of ongoing obstructed voiding after sling placement 8 .…”

“…For instance, sling loosening offers the potential advantage of leaving the sling intact and thus not compromising the outcome of the original anti-incontinence procedure 9 . Likewise, it has a high rate of successfully resolving voiding dysfunction, ranging from 87% to 100% 5,6,10 . However, it draws criticism for the potential for overtreatment because various reports note that 52–76% of the cases of voiding dysfunction at the 2-week mark will resolve with ongoing conservative measures, such as the patient using self-catheterization until that time 7,11 …”
