Urinary Continence After Vaginal Surgery for Genital Prolapse in the Spanish Population.

Surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) may be associated with the development of postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This clearly affects women's satisfaction and their quality of life, and may require subsequent medical and/or surgical treatments.

On the other hand, pre-existing SUI could resolve after corrective prolapse surgery. Similarly, urge urinary incontinence (UUI) could appear or improve after vaginal POP surgery. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to know the prevalence of urinary incontinence after POP vaginal surgery and incontinence resolution in our population. Identifying the risk factors for the development of urinary incontinence may allow to provide individualized treatment.
