Questions
The pаtient is а 68-yeаr-оld female whо had a hysterectоmy 22 years ago and had a cystocele repair eight years ago. Now the patient has had very significant urinary stress incontinence for the past two years and is admitted at this time for surgical treatment. Conservative management with medications provided no improvement of her stress incontinence. The patient required inpatient recovery and monitoring because of her oxygen dependence due to severe COPD. The day of admission the patient was taken to surgery for a suprapubic sling operation. The procedure is a suspension of the urethra using the levator muscle to reposition the bladder neck to restore support to the bladder and urethra. The patient was able to be released from the hospital late in the afternoon on the day after surgery with no complications from the anesthesia, and her lung function returned to her baseline status. Home healthcare services were ordered for the patient, and a follow-up appointment in the urologist’s office was scheduled for seven days after surgery.
