[Clinical anatomic and urodynamic investigations in stress-incontinence women (author's transl)]. 1981

G Geier, and A Grüneberger, and E Birovljev

In 398 patients suffering from urinary incontinence seven urodynamic parameters were investigated. 75% resp. 78% had a normal max. urethral closure pressure. Only a part of the women was characterized by a descensus of the genital tract. Some more patients showed anatomic abnormalities in the urethrovesical configuration by x-ray urethrocystogram. 1/5 res. 1/3 of descendent anterior vaginal walls proved to have a cystocele. If one requires for successful incontinence operation a normal max. urethral closure pressure and an objectively proven abnormality of the urethrovesical configuration, only 65% resp. 67% of our incontinence women have a chance of being cured by incontinence operation.

D014550	Urinary Incontinence, Stress	Involuntary discharge of URINE as a result of physical activities that increase abdominal pressure on the URINARY BLADDER without detrusor contraction or overdistended bladder. The subtypes are classified by the degree of leakage, descent and opening of the bladder neck and URETHRA without bladder contraction, and sphincter deficiency.

D014596	Uterine Prolapse	Downward displacement of the UTERUS. It is classified in various degrees: in the first degree the UTERINE CERVIX is within the vaginal orifice; in the second degree the cervix is outside the orifice; in the third degree the entire uterus is outside the orifice.
