Challenges of Very Long-term Reporting in Stress Urinary Incontinence Surgeries in Women
Urology Mar 17, 2020
Kuprasertkul A, et al. - Researchers present studies on surgeries to correct stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with very long-term outcomes (≥ 10 years) to examine the challenges in reporting long-term follow-up. This study carried out a comprehensive Ovid and PubMed search for articles containing long-term data over 10 years for the most commonly established surgical procedures to correct SUI. They further compared methods of follow-up, lost to follow-up (LTF) rates, cure rates, and complications. It was reported that all very long-term data for SUI surgeries share considerable LTF, infrequent examination data, mostly questionnaire-based information, and variable success rates from varying success definitions. Standardization of all these key endpoint measures is urgently required to give more reliable long-term information on the outcome of these techniques.
