Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • A. All women aged 35\-80 years who present with symptoms of moderate to severe, predominant stress urinary incontinence. This severity is established by means of the so called Sandvik index.
  • B. The predominance of stress urinary incontinence is assessed with the Stress/Urge Incontinence Questionnaire (S/UIQ). Two questions are asked. \*How many times in the last seven days have you had an accidental leakage of urine onto your clothing, underwear, or pad\*.
  • \- During an activity such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, exercising or lifting? Symptom of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
  • \- With a sudden strong need to pass water that you could not reach the toilet in time? Symptom of urge urinary incontinence (UUI).
  • For predominant stress urinary incontinence the number of SUI events should outnumber the number of UUI.
  • C. Moderate to severe stress incontinence according to the Sandvik severity index.\[15] The index is calculated by multiplying the reported frequency (four levels, 1 to 4\) by the amount of leakage (two levels, 1 and 2\). The resulting index value (1\-8\) is further categorized into slight (1\-2\), moderate (3\-4\) and severe (6\-8\).

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. No confirmation of stress urinary incontinence during gynaecological examination or on a stress test with at least 300 ml bladder filling
  • 2\. A post voiding bladder volume of more than 100 ml, as determined by bladder catheterisation or ultrasound (Bladderscan®)
  • 3\. History of anti\-incontinence surgery
  • 4\. PFMT exercises by a specialised physiotherapist for urinary incontinence in the previous 6 months
  • 5\. Genital prolapse Stage 2 or more according to the POP\-Q classification. (ref)
  • 6\. Patients desire for future pregnancy and childbirth.
  • 7\. Co\-morbidity which is associated with increased surgical risks, for instance women with ASA 3 or 4 classification. Up to the physician to decide.
  • 8\. History of recurrent lower urinary tract infection (\> 3 times/year).
  • 9\. Insufficient knowledge or understanding of the Dutch language.
