Day‐case sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence: feasibility and safety
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To prospectively assess the feasibility for discharge 10 h after a porcine dermal pubovaginal sling procedure (PVS), to examine the surgical factors (postoperative complications) affecting discharge, and to measure the short-term cure rate for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between June 2003 and December 2003, 40 consecutive patients with SUI and scheduled for treatment using a porcine dermal sling were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were admitted with a planned overnight stay and returned to the ward with no urinary catheter. Outcome measures were bladder emptying efficiency (EE) at 10 h after surgery, time intervals to the first three spontaneous voids, EE of the first three voids, time required to achieve an EE of > or = 75%, a visual analogue scale pain score, perioperative complications, and short-term cure rate of SUI. Patients were considered suitable for discharge from hospital when the EE was > or = 75% or when they were self-catheterizing confidently with adequate pain control and no significant complication. All patients were followed for 6 months. RESULTS: The median EE at 10 h was 61%; 16 patients (40%) achieved efficient emptying and were suitable for discharge 10 h after surgery. The median intervals to the first three spontaneous voids were 7, 10 and 17 h, and the median EEs for the first three voids 46%, 61% and 75%. The median visual analogue scale pain score was 3.5. Patients with intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) were significantly less likely to achieve efficient emptying at 10 h (39% vs 70%). Overall SUI was cured or improved in 90% of patients at the 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study only 40% of patients were suitable for day-case sling surgery. Early bladder emptying inefficiency was the main limiting factor. Exclusion of patients with ISD and possibly decreasing the EE threshold to 50% would improve the discharge rate. The short-term results of this PVS are similar to those obtained with the autologous fascial sling.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
