Popis: Introduction and hypotheses There is no consensus regarding pregnancy after mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation, and some clinicians recommend postponing the MUS operation if a woman considers further pregnancies or routinely suggest cesarean section as the delivery method after MUS operations. Our primary aim was to assess the risk for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) re-procedure after delivery in women with a MUS operation prior to pregnancy. We also analyzed SUI re-visits and MUS-related complications during pregnancy and postpartum. Methods We conducted a register-based case-control study of women with a MUS operation in Finland during 1996–2016. We identified 94 cases with a subsequent pregnancy and 330 controls without subsequent pregnancies matched by age, operation type and year. Results The median follow-up time was 10.7 years (IQR 7.1–13.7). The number of SUI re-procedures did not differ between the cases (n = 3, 3.2%) and controls (n = 17, 5.2%; OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.2–2.1). There was no significant difference in re-visits for stress or mixed urinary incontinence between the cases (n = 23, 24.5%) and controls (n = 86, 26.1%; OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.5–1.6), but 35% of the re-visits in the case group occurred already before the delivery after MUS. The rate of vaginal delivery was lower after MUS operation (57%) than in deliveries before MUS (91%, P Conclusions Pregnancy after MUS did not increase the odds for SUI re-procedure or re-visit. Considering on our results, future pregnancy does not need to be viewed as an absolute contraindication for MUS operation.
