Importance of Patient Positioning at Cough Test When Considering Success Following Sling Procedures

N/AUnknownNCT03120117

Michigan Institution of Women's Health PC87 enrolled

Overview

This is a prospective study to assess the feasibility and success of performing an intra-operative standing cough test and the correlation with the long term success of the sling surgery.

The goal is to seek correlation or disparity between the supine versus the sitting cough test, supine (lying down) versus standing cough test and sitting versus the standing cough test performed at a constant bladder volume; empty in the office and full in the operating room. Secondary objective is to test if the intra-operative standing cough test at fullness correlates with long term success of the sling surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of patients who present with recurrence of stress incontinence following sling surgery as assessed by post-operative cough test.

Success criteria will be defined through the examination of patient's post-operative visits regarding cough stress tests in supine, sitting and standing positions where the bladder is at 10% of urodynamic fullness. Failure to meet this criteria will be considered recurrence of stress incontinence.

Time frame: Within first two years following sling procedure

Number of patients who present with recurrence of stress incontinence following sling surgery as assessed by post-operative MESA questionnaire.

Success criteria is also defined through the examination of patient's response to Medical Epidemiologic and Social Aspects of Aging 12 (MESA) to determine recurrence of stress incontinence. Failure to meet this criteria will be considered recurrence of stress incontinence.

Time frame: Within first two years following sling procedure
