Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the impact of unrestricted postoperative activity on intermediate- and long-term continence outcomes of mid-urethral sling surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence.

To assess the natural return to baseline activity level when patients are unrestricted following mid-urethral sling surgery with or without concomitant anterior or posterior pelvic organ prolapse repair.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Over the last decade, the mid-urethral sling has become the new gold standard in the management of stress urinary incontinence because of its high success rate and minimally invasive nature. However, postoperative management has not kept pace with the modernization of sling surgery. Although formal guidelines regarding the resumption of normal activity levels have not been established, it is general practice to restrict exercise for a minimum of six weeks after surgery.

For the study, if immediate resumption of normal activity has no impact on intermediate- and long-term continence outcomes, it may result in improved quality of life and cost savings from a societal perspective.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard post-operative activity restriction

As a traditional method, patients will be restricted from activity for six weeks after sling surgery.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard post-operative activity restriction

Intervention Type OTHER

No post-operative activity restrictions

Patients are to resume regular activity immediately after mid-urethral sling surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

No post-operative activity restrictions

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients are to resume regular activity immediately after mid-urethral sling surgery. The investigators will determine the impact of unrestricted post-operative activity on continence outcomes of mid-urethral sling surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Investigators will measure the effect of unrestricted post-operative activity on early health-related quality of life (HRQOL). A Productivity Loss form for cost-effective analysis will be asked of the patient.
