Summary

Q-tip test was applied for evaluation of urethral hypermobility (UH) in stress-incontinent women. It is still unknown whether there is an alternative method for the assessment of UH in a less invasive way or not.

We aim to assess the correlation between the overall rest-stress distance measured by transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) and Q-tip test angle in women with urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) scheduled for mid-urethral sling surgery (MUS), and determine a cut off value of rest-stress distance for predicting UH.

Conditions

  • Urodynamic Stress Incontinence

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Transperineal ultrasound

Ultrasonography was used with curved linear-array transducer placed between the major labia and underneath the external urethral orifice. The measurement was done on the midsagittal plane to obtain the image of pubic symphysis, urethra, and bladder in a view. Ultrasonic measurement of the overall rest-stress distance was define as the linear distance of bladder neck position change from resting status to maximal strain.
