Role of ultrasound in urinary incontinence evaluation

Ultrasonic Prediction of Stress Urinary Incontinence Development in Surgery for Severe Pelvic Relaxation

“…UVJ's mobility on straining of 1 cm was found to be critical when evaluating urethral support and competence [21]. The present study confirms these findings.…”

The Relationships of Urethral and Pelvic Floor Muscles and the Urethral Pressure Measurements in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

“…Assessment of the anatomical changes of the pelvic floor muscles in women with SUI has been investigated by magnetic resonance imaging [8, 21], transvaginal ultrasound [22, 23], transrectal ultrasound [24]and transperineal ultrasound [13]. Among these investigated methods, transrectal ultrasound provides a dynamic and clear investigation of the urethra and paraurethral structures.…”

Ultrasonography of Urinary Tract and Micturition as an Alternative to Radiologic Investigations in the Spinal-Cord-Injured Patient

“…from abroad had to be hospitalized for almost a week for a 'uro-check'. The ultrasound investigation for the upper urinary tract is already widely accepted and has replaced previous radiological investigations during the urologi cal work-up in nonparaplegic patients considerably [2,3,5,10]. Typical pathomorphological changes of the kid neys concomitant with neurogenic bladder disorder like dilatation of the collecting system, nephrolithiasis, pyelonephritic scars and sometimes renal neoplasms were easily picked up.…”

“…While ultrasonography of the upper urinary tract and the bladder is a well-established imaging procedure in urology [2,3,5,10], ultrasound of micturition is rather infrequently applied and investigated [6,7,9, 11], In spired from the results of Shapiro et al [11], we started to use ultrasound also for imaging the micturition pro cess. After a certain learning period, we have been using this method almost exclusively to study the functional as well as morphological status of the bladder and bladder outlet as far as the membranous urethra.…”
