Currently, pelvic floor ultrasound allows us to correctly visualize the synthetic material used in stress urinary incontinence surgery. The objective of this study is the construction of a score and its correlation with the SUU clinic. During the study period, 81 patients with transobturator slings were studied using ultrasound. Through multivariate analysis, the statistically significant variables were the distance from the sling to the urethral wall (p = 0.004), the shape of the sling at rest (p = 0.003), and the symmetry of the mesh (p = 0.016). Through these variables, the construction of a score was carried out. Once the model was constructed, its internal validation was carried out to determine the discrimination capacity of patients who present clinical stress and those who do not, with an area under the curve of 0.848 (95% CI (0.72–0.97), p < 0.001). This simple score using three ultrasound variables serves to adequately and objectively discriminate patients who have successful surgery and absence of clinical effort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
