Abstract

Quite often patients assume that any new onset of urge incontinence or nocturia is recurrent urinary incontinence. Is it possible to consider any similar situation as the recurrence of urinary incontinence? No, of course not. However, if you put at the forefront a patient satisfaction with the overall result of the surgery, rather than a formal negative cough test, the picture will be somewhat different. On the one hand, it brings us back to criteria of surgery success, and on the other to the indications for repeat surgery. All this highlights the importance of thorough examination of patients with urinary incontinence. Patient evaluation begins with taking a complete medical history, reviewing chief complaints and filling in urination diary. If a re-operation is indicated, the following surgical options should be considered: sling operations, colposuspension or tapes using patient own tissue. The choice of surgical treatment for recurrent urinary incontinence should be based on the results of a thorough evaluation of the individual patient, including urodynamic parameters and supplementary imaging studies. The most important factors influencing the choice of method of re-surgery were the type of the previous operation, the results of urodynamic studies, and the preference and experience of the surgeon.
