Objective:
To investigate the value of urodynamic test in the diagnosis of postoperative incontinence after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).
Methods:
Thirty-seven patients with urinary incontinence after TURP received urodynamic tests, including cystometry(CMG), pressure-flow study, rest urethral pressure profilometry(RUPP) and stress leak-point pressure (SLPP) measurement. Urethrocystography was taken when necessary.
Results:
Of the 37 cases, 16 were diagnosed as motor urge urinary incontinence, 2 as sensory urge urinary incontinence, 17 as stress urinary incontinence and 2 as overflow urinary incontinence.
Conclusion:
Different types of urinary incontinence after TURP can be clearly distinguished by urodynamic tests, which provides objective basis for the choice of adequate treatment.

01:26The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...

In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
