Abstract EN
Aim.
To evaluate the impact of SPARC on female sexual function.
Methods.
151 women with a mean age of 60±11.90 and SUI had a complete urodynamic investigation and underwent SPARC operation.
98 women completed the validated female sexual function index questionnaire (FSFI) at baseline and 94 women at follow-up.
A minimum follow-up of 12 months was required for study inclusion.
Results.
52/98 women were sexually active at baseline.
Postoperatively only 33 patients were sexually active.
The FSFI score of all 33 pre- and postoperative sexually active women increased from 25.3±5.7 at baseline to 27.4±4.8 at follow-up (P=0.1).
Scores of women with reduced sexual function at baseline increased significantly in the domains desire, arousal, and lubrication as well as orgasm and satisfaction and total FSFI-score (P=0.002) postoperatively.
Conclusions.
Our results suggest that the SPARC-sling procedure for SUI did not negatively interfere with female sexual function.
