Summary

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.

Conditions

• Stress Urinary Incontinence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Midurethral sling surgery	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.
