Reoperation rates for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in women after undergoing Mid-Urethral sling with or without concomitant colporrhaphy in academic centers within the United States

Abstract In this study, the rates of reoperation for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women who underwent a mid-urethral sling (MUS) with or without concurrent colporrhaphy were evaluated. An academic faculty practice consortium database was used to identify a cohort of patients treated surgically for SUI with or without concurrent POP repair (apical, anterior, posterior, or a combination of the three) with or without hysterectomy between 2009 and 2011. A total of 20,484 patients matched the criteria. Of patients who underwent a MUS, 7.2% underwent secondary surgery, with a higher rate of 8.6% associated with those who underwent concurrent prolapse repair (Apical repair HR 1.84, p < .01; Anterior compartment repair HR 1.47, p < .01). Concurrent hysterectomy was associated with a lower hazard of secondary prolapse surgery (HR 0.48; p < .01) if the initial surgery involved a complete POP repair. Prolapse mesh repair resulted in a higher hazard of additional surgery (HR 1.43, p < .01). Medicaid insurance was also associated with an increased hazard ratio compared to commercial insurance for secondary surgery (HR 1.32, p < .01). For women undergoing MUS with complete prolapse repair, concurrent hysterectomy is associated with lower secondary surgery rates. Concurrent prolapse repair with mesh is associated with higher secondary surgery rates. Synopsis: For women undergoing MUS (mid-urethral sling) with complete prolapse repair, concurrent hysterectomy is associated with lower secondary surgery rates. Concurrent prolapse repair with mesh is associated with higher secondary surgery rates. Impact Statement What is already known on this subject? Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can present at the same time and negatively impact patients’ quality of life. There is little data regarding reoperation rates for patients who undergo both MUS and colporrhaphy in one setting. What do the results of this study add? This study found that patients who undergo concurrent MUS (mid-urethral sling) and complete POP repair with the addition of hysterectomy had a lower risk of secondary surgery. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our data can be used by surgeons to counsel patients on the risks of re-operation for SUI for those who would like to undergo concurrent POP repair with or without hysterectomy.
