Comparison of techniques to determine continence zone.
The urethral pressure profiles for 36 patients were analyzed specifically for continence zone by 3 techniques: 1) triangle, 2) planimeter and 3) weight. Graphically, the best agreement was between the weight and planimetry methods but, statistically, there was a significant difference among techniques except for the subgroup that had the smallest continence area.
