The majority of patients reported being satisfied with the functional and cosmetic outcomes of their harvest site as well as satisfied with the improvement in their SUI. Less than 25% of patients report harvest site symptoms, including leg weakness, scar bulging, scar pain, scar numbness, or paresthesia in the scar. This is important in the context of appropriate preoperative discussion and counseling regarding fascia lata harvest.
