[Evaluating the success of surgery of stress incontinence--subjective and objective success]. 1989

G deGregorio

Universitäts-Frauenklinik Freiburg.

This study comprises a comparison between subjective and objective results in 197 patients who underwent surgery for stress urinary incontinence. The objective success of surgery could be demonstrated by urodynamic measurements. The correlation of subjective and objective data showed a discrepancy, however, it were rather postoperative side effects and complaints which determined the subjective impression, for example voiding disturbances and complaints in sexual intercourse, than the surgical success. (Two thirds of the patients with recurrencies were at least content.) All control examinations should ask not only for the objective clinical result, but also for the subjective impression, especially with regard to side effects.
