background stress urinary incontinence (sui), the most common type of urinary incontinence (ui), is usually defined as leakage of urine during movement or activity which puts pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, running or heavy lifting. it is reported in most countries that 15% to 40% of women struggle with sui and its severe implications for daily life, including social intera...

OBJECTIVES To use videourodynamic assessment to investigate the relationship between Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP) and cough leak point pressure (CLPP) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS A total of 116 women with SUI were retrospectively analyzed by videourodynamic results, urethral pressure profilometry, and leak point pressure findings. All women had urine leakag...

BACKGROUND Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is one of the most reported health dilemmas of women suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms. AIM To determine the relation between hysterectomy and severity of female SUI using Valsalva Leak Point Pressure (VLPP). METHODS This case-control study was conducted at a public urology clinic in Tehran in 2015. The study population was all female w...

PURPOSE We assessed the accuracy of urinary detection by visualization compared with a method using the urethral channel of a transurethral, three-channel urodynamic catheter. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a case series of 52 patients presenting with stress urinary incontinence over 2 years. Patients underwent video-urodynamic studies in both the supine and the erect positions by use of two ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the validity and reproducibility of a fiberoptic transducer urodynamic catheter for urethral closure pressure profiles and leak point pressure determination, using a microtransducer catheter as the standard. METHODS Ninety women without significant pelvic organ prolapse underwent urodynamic evaluations with both fiberoptic and microtransducer catheters. Maximal urethral cl...

Objective: To assess whether there is a difference in treatment outcomes for patients with or without intrinsic sphincter deficiency after tension-free vaginal tape insertion for stress urinary incontinence in a Chinese population. Methods: This retrospective study of Chinese women undergoing tension-free vaginal tape insertion for confirmed urodynamic stress urinary incontinence was carried ou...

PURPOSE A new clinical test for intrinsic urethral sphincter dysfunction is proposed and compared to abdominal leak point pressure determination by video urodynamics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were prospectively included in the study if they had stress urinary incontinence symptoms and were to undergo video urodynamic testing. Patients with urinary tract infection, cystocele, rectocele a...
