[Bonney maneuver and its derivatives: History, technique, significance and prognostic value]
1Hôpital privé Sévigné, 3, rue du Chêne-Germain, 35510 Cesson-Sévigné, France.
Introduction:
Historically a positive Bonney maneuver indicates the need for surgical management of stress urinary incontinence. This maneuver is regularly used in French daily practice without formal proof of its predictive value.
Material:
A Medline search was performed with the terms "Bonney test" and "urinary incontinence" to include 10 relevant articles in this review.
Results:
Eight articles study the mechanism of the maneuver or its derivatives, evoking a direct pressure on the urethra. Two studies are interested in the real predictivity of the maneuvers on the success of surgical treatment by urethral strip, reporting a positive predictive value of the Bonney maneuver between 96.2 and 100%.
Conclusion:
Further studies are needed to objectify the utility of this maneuver.
