Impact of preoperative pelvic floor muscle training (pretraining) on urinary storage and emptying symptoms in women undergoing sling surgery.

Pretraining with PFMT before MUS was associated with preoperative improvement in emptying symptoms and UUI. Although not statistically significant, pretraining was associated with a higher chance of SUI resolution in the long term. If pretraining is beneficial before MUS, the effect appears to be small.
