ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the outcomes in patients with and without a history of antiincontinence surgery treated with electrotherapy and biofeedback. In addition, to assess with a validated questionnaire in Spanish the reduction of incontinence episodes and their impact on quality of life.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in two groups of patients: one with stress urinary incontinence with previous surgical treat- ment and the other without this history. Both groups were administered electrotherapy with biofeedback in 8 and 12 sessions. Severity was assessed with the Sandvik Severity Index and symptom reduction with the visual analog scale and the improvement perceived by the patient. Quality of life was assessed with the King's Health Questionnaire validated in Spanish.
Results: The situation of 68 patients was analyzed: 20 with a history of incontinence surgery and 48 without this history. Both groups reported a decrease in the number of incontinence episodes after the eighth session. In both groups there was a statistically significant increase in the King's Health Questionnaire score in domains II, III and IV. In the group without the history of anti-incontinence surgery, the score of domains V and VII increased.
Conclusions: Electrotherapy associated with biofeedback in patients with stress urinary incontinence, with and without previous surgical treatment, showed no difference in outcomes.
