Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition among women. Although an extensive body of evidence suggests that vaginal delivery increases rates of post-partum stress urinary incontinence compared with caesarean section (Tähtinen RM et al. Eur Urol. 2016;70:148-58) there has been almost an complete lack of adequate prior RCT data. The only previous randomized trial to address this topic is the Term Breech Trial (Hannah M et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol.2004;191:917-27). This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
