However, there is little long-term follow-up in the literature. Objective: To determine the long-term effect of bariatric procedures on SUI and OAB and their impact on quality of life, we applied the ICIQ and USP questionnaires. Setting: The research was conducted at a French university hospital with expertise in bariatric surgery. Methods: We performed an updated follow-up at 6 years of a prospective cohort of 83 women who underwent a bariatric procedure between September 2013 and September 2014. The women completed the USP and ICIQ questionnaires before surgery, 1 year and 6 years after the surgery. Results: Of the 83 patients, 67 responded (80.7%) in full. SUI remained improved at 6 years: the USP score decreased from 3 [1; 7] before surgery to 0 [0; 1] (p = 0.0010) at 1 year after surgery and remained at 0 [0; 0] (p = 0.0253) at 6 years. The decrease in the OAB symptom score remained statistically significant: 3 [1; 7] before the surgery vs. 2 [0; 5] at 6 years (p = 0.0150). However, this improvement was significantly less pronounced than at 1 year: 0 [0; 1] (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Bariatric surgery seems to be effective at treating SUI and OAB with a long-lasting effects, still noted at 6 years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12062109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T01:58:22Z","timestamp":1678240702000},"page":"2109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Urinary Continence Resolution after Bariatric Surgery: Long-Term Results after Six-Year Follow-Up"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5775-479X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thibaut","family":"Waeckel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology and Transplantation Department, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khelifa","family":"Ait Said","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology and Transplantation Department, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Menahem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"},{"name":"Registre des Tumeurs Digestives, INSERM UMR 1086 ANTICIPE, 14032 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anais","family":"Briant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arnaud","family":"Doerfler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology and Transplantation Department, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arnaud","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"},{"name":"Registre des Tumeurs Digestives, INSERM UMR 1086 ANTICIPE, 14032 Caen, France"},{"name":"P\u00f4le de Formation et de Recherche en Sant\u00e9, 2 rue des Rochambelles, 14033 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xavier","family":"Tillou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology and Transplantation Department, University Hospital of Caen, 14000 Caen, France"},{"name":"P\u00f4le de Formation et de Recherche en Sant\u00e9, 2 rue des Rochambelles, 14033 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Kluge, H.H.P.
