Objective Using three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US), we aimed to compare the tape position and the angle formed by the sling arms in different techniques of mid-urethral sling insertion for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence, three years after surgery. In addition, we examined the correlations between the US findings and the clinical late postoperative results. Methods A prospective cross-sectional cohort study of 170 patients who underwent a sling procedure between May 2009 and December 2011 was performed. The final sample, with US images of sufficient quality, included 26 retropubic slings (tension-free vaginal tape, TVT), 42 transobturator slings (tension-free vaginal tape-obturator, TVT-O), and 37 single-incision slings (tension-free vaginal tape-Secur, TVT-S). The images (at rest, during the Valsalva maneuver, and during pelvic floor contraction) were analyzed offline by 2 different observers blinded against the surgical and urinary continence status. Group comparisons were performed using the Student t-test, the chi-squared and the Kruskal-Wallis tests, and analyses of variance with Tukey multiple comparisons. Results Differences among the groups were found in the mean angle of the tape arms (TVT = 119.94°, TVT-O = 141.93°, TVT-S = 121.06°; p < 0.001) and in the distance between the bladder neck and the tape at rest (TVT = 1.65 cm, TVT-O = 1.93 cm, TVT-S = 1.95 cm; p = 0.010). The global objective cure rate was of 87.8% (TVT = 88.5%, TVT-O = 90.5%, TVT-S = 83.8%; p = 0.701). The overall subjective cure rate was of 83.8% (TVT = 88.5%, TVT-O = 88.5% and TVT-S = 78.4%; p = 0.514). The slings were located in the mid-urethra in 85.7% of the patients (TVT = 100%, TVT-O = 73.8%, TVT-S = 89.2%; p = 0.001), with a more distal location associated with obesity (distal: 66.7% obese; mid-urethra: 34% obese; p = 0.003). Urgency-related symptoms were observed in 23.8% of the patients (TVT = 30.8%, TVT-O = 21.4%, TVT-S = 21.6%; p = 0.630). Conclusions The angle formed by the arms of the sling tape was more obtuse for the transobturator slings compared with the angles for the retropubic or single-incision slings. Retropubic slings were more frequently located in the mid-urethra compared with the other slings, regardless of obesity. However, the analyzed sonographic measures did not correlate with the urinary symptoms three years after the surgery.

“…Three-dimensional (3D) imaging technologies have provided the opportunity to develop novel approaches to identify fetal facial features and provide more informed counseling and adequate preparation for the prospective parents. Several 3D ultrasound techniques for assessment of the secondary palate, which comprises the hard and soft palate, have been described (Table 1) 5,6,8,[10][11][12] , nevertheless, there is no consensus as to which has clinical superiority 10 .…”

“…This led to the uvula being targeted as an anatomical landmark to evaluate for isolated clefts of the palate. With the advent of 3D (three dimensional) ultrasound, there has been a definitive improvement in visualization of the secondary palate [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Various 3D techniques have been proposed since 2005 and these techniques attempted to visualise the secondary palate which enhanced the detection of secondary palatine clefts [11][12][13][14][15].…”

The purpose of the study is to report on the application of tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI) in prenatal sonographic study of fetal palate in 11–14 week scan. TUI is a technology that allows the examiner to obtain a volume data set that allows the display of numerous 2D slices from a given volume on any of the three orthogonal planes. It allows automatic slicing of the volume datasets displaying multiple parallel images. The fetal palate was examined with TUI in thirteen abnormal volumes and in ninety-four normal volumes. The appearance of maxillary line in sagittal sections and the base of the retronasal triangle in coronal sections serve as key landmarks in evaluating palatine clefts. The intact palatal line in sagittal sections was observed in all the ninety-four normal volumes. The midline anatomy of the palate has been described in the study emphasising that the vomer can mimic palate in midsagittal section in secondary palatine clefts. The parasagittal sections truly reflects the presence or absence of the palate without the confounding factor of the vomer bone which was demonstrated in the abnormal volumes with TUI. The potential advantage of TUI in evaluating palate is that it allows the display of both midsagittal and parasagittal sections simultaneously. The different types of cleft have a constant reproducible pattern in TUI imaging which can be used to diagnose palatine clefts including isolated cleft of palate. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these promising results.
