    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1998 Sep; 36(9):545-7. PubMed ID: 11825461.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To apply the stress urethral pressure profile (SUPP) to diagnose the genuine stress incontinence (GSI) and to evaluate the results of treatment. METHOD: 22 patients with GSI underwent SUPP and rest urethral pressure profile (RUPP) using Dantec Menuet. RESULT: The results showed that the pressure transmission ratio (PTR) was 0.68 +/- 0.06, and urethral close pressure (UCP) was -0.62 +/- 0.22 kPa in 22 patients. PTR and UCP raised significantly after operation in 5 patients, P < 0.01. The results of SUPP were compared with those RUPP. CONCLUSION: SUPP is important in both diagnosis and evaluation of GSI, although some limitation exists. To improve the level of diagnosis, it should be combined with other method in clinical use.
