dc.description.abstract | Obesity in America is reaching epidemic
stages. An underlying co-morbidity of obesity is stress
urinary incontinence. Purpose: The purpose of this study
was to examine the relationship between bariatric
surgery in the obese patient and changes in their stress
urinary incontinence. Methods: This retrospective chart
study looked at 89 patients who had reported some level
of urinary incontinence prior to bariatric surgery.
Patients’ levels of incontinence, body mass indices
(BMI), and weights were measured before surgery and at
4, 8, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1, 2, 3, and 4 years after
surgery. Of the 89 subjects, 100% reported some level of
urinary incontinence prior to surgery. All subjects were
women (age 46 + 22 years) and all underwent gastric
bypass surgery. Results: Of the 89 patients, 63% showed
some improvement or resolution in their incontinence
after 4 weeks. Of the 78 reporting patients 89% showed
resolution of incontinence at 1 year. Conclusion:
Bariatric surgery reduced the prevalence of urinary
incontinence. One hundred percent of the patients with
stress urinary incontinence before surgery eventually
reported some improvement or resolution of their
symptoms after having the surgery. However, reductions
in excess body weight and BMI showed no significant
relationships with improvements or resolution of urinary
incontinence | en |
