The risk of postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can be reduced by combining prolapse repair with continence surgery. However, more women face a serious adverse event (SAE) after vaginal prolapse surgery combined with a midurethral sling (MUS). It is difficult to predict a woman’s individual postoperative SUI and SAE risk; therefore, weighing the benefits and risks of combination surgery is complex. We offer a concept that might help in considering combination surgery. According to this concept, women whose risk of needing subsequent surgery for postoperative SUI is on average 9% are likely to benefit from combination surgery.
