Predictors of early postoperative voiding dysfunction and other complications following a midurethral sling.

Background: The rates reported for postoperative urinary retention following midurethral sling procedures are highly variable. Determining which patients have a higher likelihood of failing a voiding trial will help with preoperative counseling prior to a midurethral sling.

Objective: The objective of the study was to identify preoperative predictors for failed voiding trial following an isolated midurethral sling.
