Özet

Stress urinary incontinence is a common problem for women. We investigated the use of transvaginal and transrectal endosonography in the evaluation of women with stress urinary incontinence in comparison with lateral chain cystography. Twenty-four patients with clinically determined stress urinary incontinence were evaluated consequently with transvaginal and transrectal ultrasound and conventional lateral chain cystography. Posterior urethrovesical angle and urethral lengths were measured at rest and during Valsalva manoeuver. The results, compared with X-ray cystourethrography, enabled us to show the combination of transvaginal and transrectal ultrasonographic examinations may provide further information than transvaginal and transrectal procedure alone.
