Factors influencing physicians' recommendations for surgical treatment and mode of delivery in reproductive‐age women with stress urinary incontinence: Insights from an international survey
The current study results indicate that most physicians would recommend postponing surgical intervention until completion of family planning. In cases where surgery was recommended, bulking agents were the procedure of choice. Our survey demonstrated significant variability in physicians' attitudes towards the mode of delivery in women following anti-incontinence surgeries, affected by their gender, experience, geographical area of practice and patient continence status.
