Ultrasonography in urinary incontinence.

N N Bhatia, D R Ostergard, D McQuown

    Urology
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Linear array ultrasound offers an objective method to assess the urethrovesical junction in urinary incontinence patients. This technique aids in diagnosing defects, guiding surgical treatment, and monitoring recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence diagnosis traditionally relies on subjective assessments and conventional radiology.
    • Understanding the dynamics of the urethrovesical junction is crucial for effective treatment of stress incontinence.
    • Vesical instability often presents with uninhibited detrusor contractions, requiring accurate diagnostic methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of linear array ultrasound techniques as a replacement for conventional radiologic procedures.
    • To objectively assess the mobility of the urethrovesical junction and identify potential anatomic defects.
    • To determine the role of ultrasound in patient selection for surgical correction and postoperative follow-up of stress incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • Linear array ultrasound was employed to visualize the urethrovesical junction and proximal urethra.
    • The technique focused on assessing the mobility of the urethrovesical junction.
    • Ultrasound was also used to identify uninhibited detrusor contractions in patients with vesical instability.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound provided an objective demonstration of urethrovesical junction mobility.
    • The presence of anatomic defects contributing to incontinence was documented.
    • Ultrasound facilitated patient selection for surgical intervention and postoperative monitoring.
    • Uninhibited detrusor contractions were successfully visualized in patients with vesical instability.

    Conclusions:

    • Linear array ultrasound is a valuable tool for evaluating the urethrovesical junction in urinary incontinence.
    • This imaging modality offers objective data for diagnosing incontinence, guiding treatment, and managing patients.
    • Ultrasound can effectively identify vesical instability by visualizing detrusor muscle activity.
