Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of early physical activity on objective and subjective cure rates after a mid-urethral sling.

Methods: This is a pilot study in which 50 patients with primary urodynamic stress incontinence underwent sling surgery and were assigned to either the Early Physical Activity(EPA) or NO Physical Activity(NPA) groups. All patients were evaluated at 3 months with urodynamic studies and questionnaire.

Results: The objective cure rate in the early activity and no activity group were 76% and 88% respectively (p=0.465). Meanwhile, the subjective cure rate in the activity group was 56% compared to 68% in the control group (p=0.56).

Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference in subjective or objective cure rates between the two groups at three months.
