Abstract
The value of the urethral stress profile after surgery for urinary stress incontinence in females was prospectively analyzed using microtransducers, 95 patients were clinically and urodynamically assessed at least 6 mo. after surgery. The success of the operation was based on subjective (patient''s history) and objective (no urine loss, erect, with full bladder, on coughing and during a Urilos nappy test) criteria. In 20% of the cases, the interpretation of the urethral profiles did not correlate with the clinical objective criteria. Possible explanations for this discrepancy are discussed.
