    A new device accurately measures urethral axis rotation to differentiate stress incontinence causes. This simple, inexpensive tool aids in diagnosing type I and type II deformities.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Device Development
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Evaluating urethrovesical angle anatomy is crucial for diagnosing conditions like stress incontinence.
    • Existing methods for assessing urethrovesical angle deformities can be complex or invasive.
    • Differentiating between Type I and Type II deformities is essential for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel diagnostic device for assessing urethrovesical angle deformities.
    • To determine the degree of urethral axis rotation using the new device.
    • To differentiate between Type I and Type II deformities associated with stress incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new, simple diagnostic instrument.
    • Utilizing the device to measure urethral axis rotation in patients.

  • Preliminary study involving 62 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed instrument accurately determines the degree of urethral axis rotation.
    • The device successfully differentiates between Type I and Type II deformities.
    • The instrument is easy to interpret and use.

    Conclusions:

    • The new diagnostic device offers an accurate, simple, and easily interpretable method for evaluating urethrovesical angle deformities.
    • The instrument's ease of construction, disposability, and low cost make it a practical tool.
    • This device shows promise in improving the diagnosis of stress incontinence subtypes.
