De novo Overactive Bladder Symptoms After a Sling

A 45-yr-old woman with pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) undergoes a sling procedure. Preoperatively, she had no irritative voiding symptoms and no voiding complaints. After the sling is done, she notes some mild increase in her urinary frequency. At her 6-wk follow-up visit, she complains of onset of urge incontinence requiring two pads per day. She has no SUI. She notes her stream has slowed a bit since the surgery.
