RESUMENINTRODUCCIÓN: La incontinencia urinaria es un problema muy frecuente. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye varias condiciones. La Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzos es la más común y su tratamiento es fundamentalmente quirúrgico. Debido a que el diagnóstico de Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzo no es confiable cuando se basa en la historia y las complicaciones asociadas a la cirugía son potencialmente complejas de manejar, se vuelve imperativo objetivar el diagnóstico. MÉTODO: Se presenta un descripción retrospectiva de los resultados obtenidos de la examinación de pacientes con incontinencia urinaria mediante evaluación urodinámica simple y estandarizada. RESULTADOS: Se evaluó a 303 pacientes, de las cuales el 75,3% finalmente fue sometida a cirugía antiincontinencia. En el resto de las pacientes se encontró desde evaluación normal a variadas disfunciones miccionales. CONCLUSIONES: Es importante la implementación de herramientas de evaluación objetivas y estandarizadas como medida de seguridad y de gestión de listas de espera. Nuestros resultados son similares a los reportados en la literatura.PALABRAS CLAVE: Incontinencia Urinaria, incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzos, urodinamia, cistometría. SUMMARYINTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence is a very frequent problem. The differential diagnosis includes some conditions. Stress urinary incontinence is the most common condition and its treatment is primarily surgical. Because the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence is not reliable when it is based on the history and the complications associated with surgery are potentially complex to manage, it becomes imperative to objectively demonstrate the diagnosis. METHODS: We present a retrospective description of the results obtained from the examination of patients with urinary incontinence through simple and standardized urodynamic evaluation. RESULTS: A total of 303 patients were evaluated, of whom 75,25% were finally submitted to anti-incontinence surgery. In the rest of the patients it was found from normal evaluation to varied voiding dysfunctions. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to implement objective and standardized evaluation tools as a safety measure and management of the waiting lists. Our results are similar to those reported by literature.
