Two hundred ninety-two patients were eligible and contacted. One hundred one patients responded before protocol implementation and 102 responded after protocol implementation. The median number of tablets prescribed was 14.5 (108.5 OME; IQR, 10) and 10 (75 OME; IQR, 5; P < 0.01) preprotocol and postprotocol, whereas the mean number of tablets used was 10 (75 OME; IQR, 13) and 3 (22.5 OME; IQR, 10; P = 0.0009) preprotocol and postprotocol, respectively. Refill rate did not differ significantly (11% preprotocol vs 7% postprotocol P = 0.32) Mean satisfaction score was 4.3 (SD, 0.9). A multimodal analgesia regimen limiting postoperative opioids decreased postoperative opioid prescribing and consumption while maintaining similar patient satisfaction and refill rates. A multimodal analgesia regimen limiting postoperative opioids decreased postoperative opioid prescribing and consumption while maintaining similar patient satisfaction and refill rates. The aims of this study were to describe the perioperative course of untreated overactive bladder (OAB) (urinary frequency [UF] and urgency urinary incontinence [UUI]) before and after isolated retropubic midurethral sling (MUS) and to identify the time point for spontaneous OAB symptom improvement in the most patients. This is a prospective cohort study of women undergoing an isolated MUS. Women completed the Urogenital Distress Inventory 6 and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire 7 preoperatively and weekly for 13 weeks postoperatively. Bothersome UF and UUI were defined as a response of "moderately" or "greatly" bothered on questions 1 and 2 of the Urogenital Distress Inventory. The treatment for OAB was deferred until 13 weeks after surgery. Fifty-four women were included with a mean ± SD age of 48 ± 9 years. Stattic Preoperatively, 41% of women reported both bothersome UF and UUI. Six weeks after surgery, only 15% and 6% reported bothersome UF and UUI (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Between 6 and 13 weeks, percentages of bothersome symptoms remained low (11.7% UF and 5.8% UUI). In addition, the impact of these urinary symptoms on activities, relationships, and feelings became consistently negligible (Incontinence Impact Questionnaire 7 median score <1) at 5 weeks postoperatively. Only 3 women desired treatment for UUI after the study period. Overactive bladder is common before and immediately after MUS. However, the majority of patients have spontaneous symptom resolution by 6 weeks after surgery; it may be reasonable to discontinue preoperatively initiated overactive bladder treatment or defer starting treatment until this time point.

To assess the relationship between postoperative activity recommendations and satisfaction and anatomic and functional outcomes 1 year after surgery for symptomatic prolapse. This is a planned secondary analysis reporting 1-year functional and anatomic outcomes of a multicenter, randomized, double-masked clinical trial "ReCOUP." In the original trial, women undergoing surgery for prolapse were randomized to liberal (no limitations on physical activity) or restricted (heavy lifting and high-impact activity prohibited) postoperative activity recommendations for 3 months after surgery. At 1 year, our primary outcome was satisfaction, assessed using a 5-point Likert scale answer to the question, "How satisfied are you with the result of your prolapse surgery?" Anatomic surgical failure was met if women had prolapse beyond the hymen, apical descent greater than one third the vaginal length, OR retreatment for prolapse. Of the 95 women (n = 45 liber
