Abstrakt: Traditionally pubovaginal slings have been associated with a greater risk of immediate morbidity and prolonged voiding dysfunction compared to other stress incontinence repairs. Because elderly patients already have inherently greater perioperative risk and prevalence of innate voiding dysfunction, there is some reluctance to construct slings in this age group. We examined the outcome of pubovaginal sling in elderly women versus younger controls to determine whether this concern is justified.
