Klinische und radiologische Befunde vor und nach Schlingenoperation wegen Rezidivinkontinenz

In recent years, accurate preoperative diagnosis has been increasingly emphasized as an important therapeutic aspect of urinary incontinence in women. One of the diagnostic modalities employed is the lateral urethrocystogram. 25 patients with recurrent stress induced urinary incontinence were subjected to a dura-sling operation. The median duration of incontinence-related problems until secondary surgery (loop surgery) was 2.6 years. Radiological investigations before and after loop surgery showed, that this operation produces good morphological results, if the preoperative diagnosis is accurate. In 84% of the patients the continence obtained was verified by clinical evidence and radiologic findings.
