Conclusion
Our study found that a history of menopausal syndrome within 1 year
prior to surgery or a medication history of HRT were risk factors for
5-year complications in women undergoing midurethral sling surgery for
SUI. If this association is validated in future studies, it could
provide guidance for surgeons, clinicians and patients assessing the
risk of surgical complications when considering midurethral sling
surgical treatment for SUI.
