Urodynamics in stress urinary incontinence.

J M Kaufman

    The Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women is often misdiagnosed as bladder instability. Urodynamic evaluation reveals poor urethral pressure transmission, not instability, is the primary cause of SUI.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Pelvic Floor Disorders

    Background:

    • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition affecting women.
    • Differentiating SUI from detrusor overactivity (unstable bladder) is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Previous surgical repairs and irritative voiding symptoms can complicate diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To urodynamically evaluate women with SUI, particularly those with prior surgical failures or irritative symptoms.
    • To assess the prevalence of unstable bladders in this cohort.
    • To correlate urodynamic findings with urethral pressure profiles and other diagnostic tests.

    Main Methods:

    • Urodynamic testing was performed on 86 women with SUI.
    • Urethral pressure profiles were measured.

  • Excretory urography, post-voiding residual urine, and sphincter electromyography were utilized.
  • Cough stress tests were conducted to assess urethral pressure transmission.

    • Main Results:

    • Unstable bladders were found in only 5.8% of patients overall.
    • Prevalence of instability was 6.5% in those with prior surgery and 8.6% with irritative symptoms.
    • Urethral pressure profiles showed mild decreases in SUI patients, with significant overlap.
    • Women with SUI consistently demonstrated poor cough transmission, with intravesical pressure exceeding intraurethral pressure.

    Conclusions:

    • Urodynamic evaluation is essential for diagnosing SUI, distinguishing it from bladder instability.
    • Poor urethral pressure transmission during cough is a key urodynamic finding in SUI.
    • The study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis for successful SUI management.
