ABSTRACT
Objective In contrast to the well-recognized benefit of
trans-obturator tape (TOT) to urine continence, if the TOT-enhanced
urethra resistance results in modified voiding functions in stress
urinary incontinence (SUI) patients is not adequately investigated.
Design and setting Urodynamic investigations were retrograde
analyzed in a tertiary referral hospital.
Population A total of 26 female SUI patients
Methods The area enclosed by the loop trajectory (Apv) in a
pressure-volume analysis (PVA) which represent the work performed in
each voiding cycle was retrospectively analyzed
