Purpose:
To assess influence of miduretral sling (MUS) on patient's sexuality.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature review using Pubmed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane: "stress urinary incontinence", "sexual function", "anti-incontinence surgery", "minimaly invasive slings", "mid-urethral slings", "tension-free vaginal tape", "transobturator vaginal tape". Sixty-nine articles really dealt with the impact of MUS on sexuality.
Results:
The data were expressed as the median and interquartile range (IQR; 25th-75th percentile). After MUS surgery, 30% (21-37) patients had sexuality improvement, 8.5% (4.7-14) had sexuality impairment and 60% (53-73) didn't report change on their sexuality.
Conclusion:
MUS surgery didn't seem to impair significantly patient's sexuality.
