Female urinary incontinence: imaging by or for the urologist.
The author reviews the imaging techniques useful in the evaluation of female urinary incontinence: voiding cystourethrography and videoradiourodynamics. Voiding cystourethrography allows to disclose two forms of bladder base suspension defects: anterior and posterior suspension defects. It will be performed before surgery. Videoradiourodynamics will be limited to patients with recurrent urinary incontinence following unsuccessful surgery.
