[Stress incontinence and urogenital prolapse in women. What is decisive for successful surgical management?].
Surgery is indicated after failure of conservative treatment modalities in women with urinary stress incontinence and/or urogenital prolapse. As postoperative success rates and patients' satisfaction rates are highly dependent on patient selection and correct indication, the preoperative diagnostic work-up is essential to identify risk factors to predict postoperative continence rates, possible side effects, or complications. In these cases, patients have to be not only informed about failures prior to surgery but also offered alternative treatment options.
