There is a paucity of data on postoperative exercise and how it relates to surgical failure, specifically after midurethral sling (MUS) surgery. We aimed to assess if women with higher self-reported activity levels as measured by strenuous exercise are more likely to experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms after MUS than women with lower self-reported activity.
