An observational study in Stress Urinary Incontinence, sponsored by University Hospital, Grenoble. Status unknown. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 90 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-08.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Grenoble · Observational
Evaluation of the sexual quality of life of women who had a sub-urethral sling several years ago, using a recently validated questionnaire: the PPSSQ (Pelvi-Perineal Surgery Sexuality Questionnaire).
This questionnaire is specifically oriented for women who have undergone surgery for stress urinary incontinence or prolapse. It contains questions specific to post-surgical issues that are not present in other sexual quality of life questionnaires. The questionnaire will also be administered to a group of control women who have not had suburethral sling surgery in order to compare their responses to those of women who have had surgery.
The hypothesis is that the placement of a suburethral sling for stress urinary incontinence increases the quality of sexual life of the women.

Procedure: Midurethral sling surgery
-Adult women under 90 years of age, matched on age and menopausal status to the patient group Women who have never had surgery for stress urinary incontinence with a sub-urethral sling. Women who agreed to complete the PPSSQ
This treatment consists of the placement of a sub-urethral sling, usually made of polypropylene, in order to support the urethra during efforts and thus to avoid leaks linked to its hyper mobility. This is a frequent and rapid surgery, which is performed on an outpatient basis. The sling is placed under the patient's urethra with the help of an awl.
Evaluate the sexual discomfort in the medium term in patients who have undergone surgery for stress urinary incontinence by placing a suburethral sling.
The primary endpoint of the research is the comparison of medians of the PPSSQ "discomfort and pain" score between women who underwent suburethral sling surgery and healthy female volunteers of the same age and menopausal status.
Time frame: 2 to 7 years after the surgery
To evaluate the quality of sexual life of patients who have undergone surgery for stress urinary incontinence using a suburethral sling.
Comparison of medians of the PPSSQ "sexual health" score between women with suburethral sling surgery and healthy female volunteers.
Time frame: 2 to 7 years after the surgery
Analyze the causes of discomfort and the characteristics of pain experienced by patients during intercourse.
Analyse of PPSSQ answers to questions 5 and 6
Time frame: 2 to 7 years after the surgery
To analyze the rate of non-sexually active patients after surgery, and the causes of this lack of sexuality.
Analyse of PPSSQ answers to question 1
Time frame: 2 to 7 years after the surgery
Compare sexual discomfort and quality of sexual life before/after suburethral sling surgery.
Comparison of medians of the PPSSQ scores in the patient group before and after surgery
Time frame: 2 to 7 years after the surgery
