“…At maximum retaining, the angle closes through the traction of the two arms, probably due to reduced distension, with the levator plate raising the anterior vaginal wall. These tapes work as a dynamic closing mechanism which affects the urethra as intraabdominal pressure is increased (Valsalva and maximum retaining): the urethra and surrounding tissue are also compressed against the tape [18].…”

The aim of this study was to compare ultrasonographic findings on tape position, angulation and mobility following three surgical anti-incontinence procedures (trans-obturator tape (TOT), tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O)) and to correlate these data with clinical signs of cures and failures and de novo voiding disorders. In this prospective study, vesicourethral static and dynamic analysis of 81 patients (30 TOT, 28 TVT, 23 TVT-O) were evaluated using introital ultrasonography. Width, position and appearance of the tape were similar in all three groups, i.e. like a "V" at rest, round angulation on Valsalva and closed angulation at maximum retaining. Moreover, closer angulation on Valsalva was associated with voiding disorders. Closer angulation at retaining was associated with de novo urge incontinence. Larger angulation of the tape at rest appeared to be significantly associated with recurrent stress incontinence. Ultrasonography could a be useful tool assessing anti-incontinence procedures and investigating post-operative voiding disorders.

“…This is the reason why it is nowadays used in urogynecologic patients more often [17,23,24]. The urethral mobility assessment performed with transperineal 2D ultrasound imaging with a transabdominal probe confirmed good reproducibility of similar measurements [15,16,25,26]. A comparison of three different methods of measuring urethrovesical mobility showed that the Q-tip test and the Sensor-Q had higher inter-observer reliability of urethral mobility evaluation than the ultrasound method [22].…”

Objectives: The aim of the study was the evaluation of repeatability and reproducibility of chosen urethral neck mobility measurements obtained during introital pelvic floor sonography performed with a 2D transvaginal probe. Material and methods:In order to assess the repeatability and reproducibility, independent measurements on the ultrasound image were taken by two specialists on 92 female patients at rest and at strain (Valsalva maneuver). 2D ultrasound examination was performed introitally with a transvaginal probe (PFS-TV). The location of the urethral internal orifice was defined with coordinates of two points. Point CI marks the urethral anterior edge visualized on ultrasound as closer to the pubic symphysis. Point CII marks the posterior edge visualized more peripherally from pubic symphysis.Results: Repeatability and reproducibility measurements of point CI location and mobility were good and very good (0.6710-0.9961), while of point CII -were medium, good and very good (0.5738-0.9944). Point CI was clearly visible in all cases. It was not possible to accurately mark point CII in 4.3-17.4% of cases. Conclusions:The possibility to visualize point CI in every single case with very good and good repeatability and reproducibility of measurements of this point's location and mobility allows the usage of CI point as a universal reference point for evaluation of bladder neck mobility and position during PFS-TV in the clinical practice and for research purposes.
