Measure
Placebo
Arm randomly assigned to receive placebo 1 tablet PO twice a day (BID) x 3 days post-operatively. The incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in this group will be compared with group one (1). Placebo: 6 tablets to be taken 1 tablet PO BID. These tablets are identical to nitrofurantoin 100 mg tablets.
Treatment
Patients randomly assigned to be treated with nitrofurantoin 100mg PO BID x 3 days post-operatively Nitrofurantoin: Nitrofurantoin 100mg PO BID for 3 days post operatively following the placement of a sub-urethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence
