Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary loss of urine with physical exertion and increased abdominal pressure. This condition is prevalent among women and is frequently managed with surgical intervention. We aimed to characterize these surgeries and identify the complications most commonly associated with each procedure. The four methods widely used to correct female SUI include urethral injections, mid-urethral slings (MUS), pubovaginal slings (PVS), and retropubic suspensions, with MUS being the current gold standard. While we found that these procedures are each associated with varying risk profiles, the most common complications included transient urinary retention and new-onset irritative voiding symptoms. These risks should be used to guide clinicians when recommending the various treatment options available to treat SUI.
