Abstract
Purpose: We reported and compared the outcomes of repeat mid urethral sling with primary mid urethral sling in women with stress urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,225 consecutive women with urodynamic stress incontinence underwent a synthetic mid urethral sling procedure (955 retropubic, 270 transobturator) at our institution between 1999 and 2007. Of the patients 91 (1,112) were interviewed via telephone call with a structured questionnaire and were included in the analysis. Mean ? SD followup was 50 ? 24 months (range 12 to 114). A comparison between repeat (77, mean age 62 ? 12 years) and primary (1,035, mean age 60 ? 13 years) mid urethral sling groups was performed. Repeat sling was placed without removal of the previous sling. Results: The preoperative incidence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency was higher in patients who had a repeat mid urethral sling (31 vs 13 , p
