Background: Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) indicates an abnormal separation of the rectus abdominal muscles from the midline, resulting in abdominal bulging. Recent literature shows a correlation between DRA and back pain, stress urinary incontinence. Primary goal of this study is to check the correlation between DRA correction in abdominoplasty and improvement of urinary symptoms., Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study on patients with post-pregnancy rectus diastasis who underwent surgical correction of diastasis through conventional abdominoplasty. All patients were asked to complete the ICIQ-FLUTS questionnaire, which assesses urinary disorders, and the SF-36 questionnaire, aimed at quantifying health-related quality of life. The questionnaires were administered to patients the day before surgery and one year after surgery., Results: The recruited patients (n = 51) were then stratified on the presence or absence of stress urinary incontinence. Of the 39 patients with preoperative incontinence, the average scores of the ICIQ-FLUTS were analyzed. In particular, for the questions relating to stress urinary incontinence a statistically significant difference was reported between the preoperative mean and the 1-year mean for all questions (p value<0.05). As regards quality of life, comparing the average scores of each question of SF-36 there is an improvement in the values of all the variables of the questionnaire., Conclusion: The strength of this study, which distinguishes it from other literature, is that the changes in abdominal pressure post-abdominoplasty which should lead to a worsening of stress incontinence, do not cause it. On the contrary, we have demonstrated the improvement of this symptom after conventional abdominoplasty surgery in most patients., Level of Evidence Iv: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
