UROGYNECOLOGY: Effect Of Age On Outcomes Of Sling Surgery For Urinary IncontinenceFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 26 Jan 2008 08:53:25 -0600 (CST)
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/95050.php Beyond The Abstract - The Effect Of Age On Outcomes Of Sling Surgery For Urinary Incontinence "UroToday.com - This study demonstrates the need for caution when performing slings on older women with stress incontinence. We found that older women were not only more likely to fail surgery and require another procedure for stress incontinence, but also were more likely to experience emptying difficulty and new urge incontinence after a sling. These findings suggest a need for thorough pre-operative counseling of older women undergoing sling surgery, as their risk of surgical morbidity is higher than for younger women."
