Abstract

In recent decades, obesity has assumed the features of a pandemic. Leading to the development of many complications, obesity also contributes to the development of urinary incontinence. The review presents current data on the etiology, pathophysiology and approaches to the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in obese patients. There are a large number of publications by foreign authors on the problem of urinary incontinence in patients with obesity. The results of the studies allow us to say with confidence about the direct relationship between an increase in body mass index and the risk of developing urinary incontinence. Long-term results of surgical treatment of urinary incontinence in obese patients require reflection and further observation. It is noteworthy that this problem is practically not reflected in the works of domestic authors. It is relevant to conduct domestic clinical studies on the problems of urinary incontinence in patients with obesity.
