Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: We hypothesized that certain preoperative voiding symptoms would be correlated with poorer post-continence surgery outcomes in women. Methods: Preoperative voiding symptoms from 655 women were assessed with questionnaires. Outcomes (overall failures, stress-specific failures, and voiding dysfunction) after Burch or sling surgery were measured. Logistic regression models were used to associate preoperative voiding symptoms with postoperative outcomes. Results: Hesitating urinary stream was associated with voiding dysfunction [OR 2.22, p=0.01], overall [OR 1.57, p=0.03], and stress-specific [OR 1.67, p=0.009] failures. A ten-point increase in preoperative Urogenital Distress Inventory-obstructive (UDI-O) subscore was associated with overall [OR 1.10, p=0.049] and stress-specific [OR 1.21, p<0.0001] failures. Even controlling for severity of POPQ stage, significant associations of hesitating urinary stream with voiding dysfunction, overall and stress-specific failures remained. Conclusions: Preoperative hesitating urinary stream and obstructive voiding symptoms were associated with poorer surgical outcomes. Further studies in this area may be fruitful.
