Recurrent Incontinence After Transvaginal Partial Sling Excision in Patients with Prior Mid-Urethral Sling.

In conclusion, partial sling excision poses a low risk for de novo urinary incontinence regardless of preoperative symptoms. Stress urinary incontinence may be less likely to reoccur in those patients having a retropubic approach. A preoperative maximum flow rate of >16 mL/sec is a risk factor for future incontinence surgery after partial sling excision and should be taken into consideration when formulating a treatment plan.
