Abstract
This nationwide cohort study provides physicians with a representative evaluation of the rate of reoperations after surgical procedures for urinary incontinence. Pubovaginal slings, Burch colposuspension, and retropubic midurethral tape had a similar risk of reoperation (6%). Women who were operated with transobturator tape had a significantly higher risk of reoperation compared with retropubic midurethral tape.
