Aims We investigated surgical outcomes and changes of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after midurethral sling in female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients with or without neurological disease (ND) without spinal cord injury. Methods Patients who underwent midurethral sling for SUI between January 2009 and December 2018 were reviewed. Postoperative changes in OAB symptoms (de novo occurrence or resolution) within 1 year were compared in each preoperative symptom subset with a 1:1 matched analysis between non‐neurological disease (NND) and ND group. Results A total of 855 patients (median follow‐up: 49.8 months; mean age: 57.9 ± 9.3 years) were included. Successful SUI correction was achieved in 95.0% of NND and 93.7% of ND patients ( p = .440). Among 797 patients (711 NND and 86 ND) without remnant SUI, 227 had SUI only, 198 had SUI with urgency, and 372 had mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) preoperatively. The ND patients tended to be older (62.8 ± 9.2 vs. 57.2 ± 9.0 years) and had higher proportions of diabetes (24.4% vs. 8.0%), hypertension (47.7% vs. 26.7%), and MUI (64.0% vs. 44.6%) than NND patients ( p < .001, respectively). After matching age, diabetes, and hypertension, the incidence of de novo OAB was higher in ND patients (SUI only; 21.1% vs. 5.3%; p < .001) while resolution rates of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) were similar (MUI; 57.7% vs. 53.9%; p = .414). Conclusions Success rates of midurethral sling and resolution of UUI were comparable between NND and ND patients. In patients with neurological conditions, de novo OAB symptoms were more likely to develop.
