Purpose: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common health-related problem in the female population and has a negative impact on many aspects of patients' quality of life including mental problems. This study evaluated the mental effects of mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery in female patients with stress UI or stress UI-dominant mixed UI.
Patients And Methods: Women with stress UI or stress UI-dominant mixed UI who underwent MUS surgery and were enrolled in this study and followed up for 12 months. The International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at baseline and 12 months after the MUS to evaluate the efficacy of the surgery.
Results: At baseline, proportions of the patients with anxiety (HADS-Anxiety score of 8) and depression (HADS-Depression score of 8) were 21.6% (22/102) and 24.5% (25/102), respectively. At 12 months postoperatively, the median ICIQ-SF score, HADS-Anxiety score, and HADS-Depression score were significantly improved compared with their baseline values (p<0.001 for ICIQ-SF and HADS-Depression, p=0.011 for HADS-Anxiety). At 12 months postoperatively, changes in the ICIQ-SF and HADS-A scores showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.578, p < 0.001), and changes in the ICIQ-SF and HADS-D scores had a strong correlation (r = 0.838, p <0.001).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that MUS surgery significantly improved UI, anxiety, and depression with significant correlations in their symptoms. This suggests that improvement of the patients' UI helped to relieve their symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Purpose: To evaluate two primary outcomes in elite female athletes (EFAs) with severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) 24 months post-intervention: return to elite-level competition and improvement in SUI symptoms. Clustering analysis was conducted to identify subgroups within the patient population and explore treatment efficacy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 183 EFAs with severe SUI who underwent treatments including pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), vaginal and urethral erbium laser (Fotona Laser), and mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disorder in females, which significantly affects the quality of life in females. There are many consensus that describe the safety of childbearing after surgery for SUI, but still, a large proportion of surgeons worldwide recommend that women should wait to complete childbearing before pursuing surgical treatment for SUI. There is also some opinion that if patients conceive after surgical treatment for SUI, women should be delivered by cesarean section.

Article Synopsis
- * A comprehensive search across multiple databases identified 13 high-quality randomized controlled trials to assess cure rates and complications associated with both surgical methods.
- * Results showed that both TVT and TVT-O had similar mid- to long-term cure rates for SUI, but TVT was linked to a higher risk of hematoma and a lower risk of thigh/groin pain compared to TVT-O.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of four surgical techniques for treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using a sample of 243 patients divided into four groups based on the method used: AFS, TVT-O, epithelial flap suspension, and ASIS.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment outcomes across the groups, but the ASIS group had better metrics in terms of reduced intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays compared to others.
- The TVT-O technique was associated with a higher occurrence of postoperative medial thigh pain, while the AFS group had more cases of urine retention, highlighting the different risk profiles of each surgical method despite overall effectiveness.
