International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Satisfaction

The ICIQ-S assesses aspects of experience, expectations, and outcomes to evaluate satisfaction after urological surgery. After further testing, the intention is for the ICIQ-S to be widely applicable for use in clinical practice and research after both urological and gynaecological surgical procedures. A further questionnaire to assess patient satisfaction after urological investigations (e.g. urodynamics) is also under development.
