[Application of stress urethral pressure profile for diagnosis and treatment of stress incontinence].
OBJECTIVE
To apply the stress urethral pressure profile (SUPP) to diagnose the genuine stress incontinence (GSI) and to evaluate the results of treatment.


METHODS
22 patients with GSI underwent SUPP and rest urethral pressure profile (RUPP) using Dantec Menuet.


RESULTS
The results showed that the pressure transmission ratio (PTR) was 0.68 +/- 0.06, and urethral close pressure (UCP) was -0.62 +/- 0.22 kPa in 22 patients. PTR and UCP raised significantly after operation in 5 patients, P < 0.01. The results of SUPP were compared with those RUPP.


CONCLUSIONS
SUPP is important in both diagnosis and evaluation of GSI, although some limitation exists. To improve the level of diagnosis, it should be combined with other method in clinical use.
