The Australian Centre for Female Pelvic & Vaginal Rejuvenation Feature Surgery for stress urinary incontinence There is no surgical procedure with a cure rate of 100 per cent. Surgery, like any other treatment, is not without its own inherent risks. Even if surgery cures the stress incontinence, it does not mean that in 1, 5, or 20 years down the road it will still be as effective. Nevertheless, stress incontinence surgery may allow you to regain quality of life and give you the confidence to return to a ‘normal’ lifestyle where fear of leaking urine determines your activities is not foremost on your mind. There have been numerous surgical procedures described for stress incontinence. This article will only cover those most likely to be offered by your clinician and which carry the most evidence for efficacy: • Fascial slings • Burch colposuspension • Suburethral sling (‘tape’) procedures • Trans or para-urethral injections Suburethral sling (‘tape’) procedures were introduced into clinical practice in 1996 and for at least the last 12 years have been considered, by every major national and international gynaecological body and association to be the ‘gold’ standard procedure for female stress urinary incontinence, replacing the Burch colposuspension which previously held that accolade. This is despite the current controversy relating to the use of mesh within the vagina. Although the suburethral slings are made of mesh and are placed beneath the urethra, which technically lies within the vaginal area, these slings are not used for prolapse surgery and, in practical terms, should be dissociated from the problems recognised with the use of vaginal mesh for prolapse surgery. These differences are fundamental and the only way to avoid confusion is to have a discussion with your treating surgeon who should have some experience of most of the above mentioned surgical techniques. To all intents and purposes, a well-placed synthetic suburethral sling, from a company using ‘Type 3 Prolene’ mesh, by a surgeon who does this type of surgery on a regular basis, in an appropriate, well prepared patient, has a success rate and durability as high as the more invasive fascial slings or colposuspension, but has a significantly lower intra and post-operative complication rate (i.e. blood loss requiring transfusion, injury to organs, difficulty emptying the bladder, delayed return to normal activities). When it comes to stress urinary incontinence, it is important to know that you have options but unless you are pro-active about helping yourself (see diagram above), it is likely that your quality of life will continue to deteriorate.
