LIS and Incontinence

Postby Jbl22424 » 22 Mar 2014, 13:16

Hi,
We are all very afraid of surgery because of that damn risk of incontinence. Has anyone ever posted here that they were rendered incontinent or partially incontinent because of LIS? Just curious if we've heard from any real life cases.

Same question for botox really... I think I read one post about botox leading to temporary incontinence.. has anyone else heard or seen anything like that?

Some (most?) call it leakage:

Great! That covers all the bases, as the say in the US!

Here is a small study of incontinence after Botox - seems very low.

And another study of incontinence after LIS:
