Stress incontinence. Why and how operations work.

S L Stanton

    The Urologic Clinics of North America
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Many continence procedures lack clear cure mechanisms and can cause side effects. Further research requires standardized, long-term studies to compare treatments for stress urinary incontinence effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • The precise mechanisms of cure for many continence procedures remain unclear.
    • Some surgical interventions for incontinence result in significant side effects, including urge incontinence and voiding difficulties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the need for standardized methodologies in evaluating continence procedures.
    • To emphasize the importance of comparing subjective and objective outcomes in surgical incontinence treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Advocates for randomized studies with matched patient cohorts, considering age, parity, and surgical history.
    • Stresses the necessity of documenting patient entry criteria for accurate comparisons.
    • Recommends a minimum follow-up period of 2 years, preferably 5 years, for comprehensive assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Current data is insufficient for direct comparison of different incontinence procedures due to variability in reporting and patient selection.
    • Unacceptable side effects are frequently observed, complicating the assessment of cure rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized, long-term, and randomized studies are crucial for evaluating the efficacy and safety of continence procedures.
    • A selective, schematic approach is needed to match surgical interventions with the specific pathophysiology of urethral sphincter incompetence.
