Introduction and hypothesis: Little conclusive data exists regarding Urodynamic (UD) variables predictive of voiding dysfunction after synthetic Midurethral Sling (MUS) placement. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of MUS in female patients with Impaired Detrusor Contractility (IDC), Valsalva Voiding (VV), or both. We propose that there would be no direct relationship between these variables and urinary retention requiring Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) or reoperation at 6 wk follow up. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for all MUS procedures at a single institution, 1/2010- present. Subjects with complete pre-operative UD records and 6 wk follow up were included.
