NCT03509038

Brief Summary

In the population of obese women, the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) is around 70%. It was shown in the literature that weight loss by bariatric surgery allowed a significant improvement in the symptoms and impact on the quality of life of the IU. However, no prognostic factor for recovery has yet been identified and the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning this improvement are not fully elucidated. The main objective of this study is to highlight the urodynamic changes associated with the improvement of the symptom and quality of life scores in a population of incontinent obese women before and after bariatric surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The research protocol will be proposed to all patients requiring bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and describing urinary incontinence according to the definition of the International Continence Society (ICS)

You may not qualify if:

  • minors under the age of 18
  • pregnant or lactating women
  • women not speaking French (important to understand and respond to questionnaires)
  • women who have not given their written consent
  • neurological diseases,
  • patients who have benefited from urinary incontinence surgery, prolapse treatment or pelvic surgery at risk of urodynamic modifications (extensive resection of deep endometriosis, pelvic wound surgery, pelvic radiation therapy).
