Midurethral Slings
Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
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.
Interventions
PROCEDURECough Test following Sling Surgery
Enrolled subjects will undergo sling surgery who present with stress-dominated urinary incontinence. While in the operating room, the subject will be asked to stand and cough to determine if there is still leakage once the sling has been placed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patients who present with recurrence of stress incontinence following sling surgery as assessed by post-operative cough test. | Within first two years following sling procedure | 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. |
| Number of patients who present with recurrence of stress incontinence following sling surgery as assessed by post-operative MESA questionnaire. | Within first two years following sling procedure | 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. |
