Abstract
In a study of 190 patients with genuine stress incontinence, 91 patients were of normal weight, 66 overweight and 33 obese as determined by their Body Mass Index at the time of operation which was either a colposuspension (143) or a silastic sling insertion (47). Body mass index was found to significantly alter the outcome.Keywords
