  • Title: [Clinical anatomic and urodynamic investigations in stress-incontinence women (author's transl)].
    Author: Geier G, Grüneberger A, Birovljev E.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1981 Oct; 41(10):679-82. PubMed ID: 6914979.
    Abstract:
    In 398 patients suffering from urinary incontinence seven urodynamic parameters were investigated. 75% resp. 78% had a normal max. urethral closure pressure. Only a part of the women was characterized by a descensus of the genital tract. Some more patients showed anatomic abnormalities in the urethrovesical configuration by x-ray urethrocystogram. 1/5 res. 1/3 of descendent anterior vaginal walls proved to have a cystocele. If one requires for successful incontinence operation a normal max. urethral closure pressure and an objectively proven abnormality of the urethrovesical configuration, only 65% resp. 67% of our incontinence women have a chance of being cured by incontinence operation.
