Summary

This is a prospective study to assess the feasibility and success of performing an intra-operative standing cough test and the correlation with the long term success of the sling surgery.

Detailed description

The goal is to seek correlation or disparity between the supine versus the sitting cough test, supine (lying down) versus standing cough test and sitting versus the standing cough test performed at a constant bladder volume; empty in the office and full in the operating room. Secondary objective is to test if the intra-operative standing cough test at fullness correlates with long term success of the sling surgery.
