    Colposuspension and bladder neck plication for urinary incontinence can lead to voiding difficulties. Preoperative assessment of bladder function is crucial for identifying patients at risk of postoperative micturition problems.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Female Pelvic Medicine

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women.
    • Surgical interventions like colposuspension and bladder neck plication are common treatments.
    • Postoperative voiding dysfunction can be a complication of these procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of postoperative micturition difficulties after colposuspension and bladder neck plication.
    • To assess the role of preoperative diagnosis in predicting these complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Eighty patients undergoing colposuspension and bladder neck plication for urinary incontinence were studied.
    • Postoperative voiding function, including time to void and peak urine flow rate, was monitored.
    • Preoperative symptomatology and peak urine flow rates were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Fourteen patients (17.5%) experienced difficulty with normal micturition postoperatively.
    • Ten patients had prolonged difficulty voiding (>21 days) with reduced peak flow rates.
    • Four patients had persistent voiding issues, including high residual urine volumes (>100 ml) and reduced peak flow rates both pre- and post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Colposuspension and bladder neck plication can result in significant postoperative voiding dysfunction.
    • Preoperative assessment of bladder dysfunction, using symptomatology and peak urine flow rate, is valuable for identifying at-risk patients.
    • Early identification and management of pre-existing bladder dysfunction may improve surgical outcomes.
