title: FAST discharge without catheterization after sling therapy.
abstract: Assessment of voiding function after female sling surgery varies and patients are often discharged with a catheter, which can cause discomfort and complications, including infection. Management protocols using force of stream measurements could reduce catheter use and enable rapid discharge of women from hospital after sling surgery.
