Why Do Operations Fail?

• Too tight

• Too loose

• Wrong position

• Detrusor overactivity

–De-novo

–Persistent

• Erosion

• Wrong indication

Page 3: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Too Tight

• Urethral obstruction

• Detrusor overactivity

• Erosion

• Devascularization > recurrent SUI

Page 4: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

• Clinical:– De-novo symptoms

• Weak stream• OAB• negative Q-tip angle

• Urodynamics:– High detrusor pressure / low flow:

pdetmax > 20 cm H20Qmax < 12 ml/S

Rx of Post op Urinary Retention

• Depends on type of sling• Initial Rx intermittent

catheterization• Synthetic sling

• early intervention days – weeks

• Autologous slings• Delayed intervention – months

Page 9: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Rx of Post op Urinary Retention

• ? Need for further workup

• Q-tip

• cystoscopy

• urodynamics

Page 10: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Surgical Rx of Sling Obstruction

• Sling incision• midline• lateral

• Urethrolysis• antero-lateral• circumferential • +/- Martius flap

interposition• Technique determined intraop

Too Tight

• Urethral obstruction

• Detrusor overactivity

• Erosion

• Devascularization > recurrent SUI

Treatment of Erosions.

• remove as much of sling as possible

• closure of the urethra

• +/ - urethral reconstruction

• +/ - biologic sling

• +/ - Martius flap

Page 34: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Too Tight

• Urethral obstruction

• Detrusor overactivity

• Erosion

• Devascularization > recurrent SUI

Page 35: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Why Do Operations Fail?

• Too tight

• Too loose

• Wrong position

• Detrusor overactivity

–De-novo

–Persistent

• Erosion

• Wrong indication

Page 36: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Too Loose

Intrinsic sphincter deficiency

Urethral hypermobility

Recurrent sphincteric incontinence

Treatment of Recurrent SUI

• no compelling data

• for hypermobility, surgeon choice

• for poorly mobile or pipe - stem urethra, biologic bladder neck sling

Page 42: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Why Do Operations Fail?

• Too tight

• Too loose

• Wrong position

• Detrusor overactivity

–De-novo

–Persistent

• Erosion

• Wrong indication

Page 43: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Wrong Position

• Too far proximal – persistent sphincteric incontinence

– urethral obstruction– ureteral injury

• Too far distal – persistent sphincteric incontinence

– urethral obstruction

– urethral hypermobility

Page 50: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Wrong Indication• Urinary fistula mistaken for

sphincteric incontinence

• Overactive bladder mistaken for sphincteric incontinence

• Sine-qua-non - Never operate on stress incontinence without actually diagnosing sphincteric incontinence with your own eyes

Page 51: Sling Failures Jerry G. Blaivas, MD Clinical Professor of Urology Weil-Cornell Medical Center Adjunct Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Conclusion• Complications & failures after

incontinence surgery are not uncommon

• Early evaluation to rule out remediable causes should be undertaken– UTI– Urethral obstruction – sling erosion– foreign body

• A successful outcome is likely in the majority of patients
