Can obesity impact mesh exposure rate after mid-urethral sling operation? Medium term follow-up.

Objective: To study mesh exposure rates among obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) vs non-obese women after mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation.

Study Design: This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence April 2014-April 2021 in a tertiary-level university hospital. Data from obese and non-obese patients were compared.

Comparison of subjective long-term follow-up after mid-urethral sling in obese and non-obese patients.

Objective: Obesity is a key factor for stress urinary incontinence. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term, subjective surgical satisfaction rate among obese (BMI ≥ 30) women after mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedure in a tertiary-level university hospital.

Study Design: This retrospective, case-control study compared the outcomes of obese and non-obese patients who underwent MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), March 2014-January 2020.
