About this trial
The trans-obturator tape (TOT), which exhibits a satisfactory cure rate and a relatively diminished invasiveness, has been increasingly accepted as a surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients. Nevertheless, in contrast to the well-recognized therapeutic benefit of the enhanced resistance to the bladder continence during urine storage, if the voiding function of the bladder adapts to the TOT-enhanced outlet resistance has not been adequately investigated. This study retrospectively assayed the voiding efficacy of each voiding cycle, to clarify if the thermodynamic efficacy of the bladder was modified in response to the TOT surgery.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Clinical diagnosis of stress urinary incontience
Have urodynamic investigations before and after operation.
Disqualifiers
Exclusion criteria will be a history of (1) cardiovascular, (2) neurological, or (3) other medical (such as diabetes or inflammation) problems as well as (4) patients who received a concomitant surgical procedure.

Treatments tested in this trial
Urodynamic investigations before and after a trans-obturator tape protocol.
Procedure/SurgeryUrodynamic investigations (The urodynamic study included free uroflowmetry, postvoid residual, filling and voiding cystometry, and a urethral pressure profile. The filling cystometry and urethral pressure profile were performed with 37 degrees C normal saline similar to body temperature at an infusion rate of 80 ml/min.)
Urodynamic investigations before and after a tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O)
Procedure/SurgeryUrodynamic investigations (stated above.)
Urodynamic investigations before and after a mini Arc protocol.
Procedure/SurgeryUrodynamic investigations (stated above)
Urodynamic investigations before and after an i-STOP mini adjustable sling protocol.
Procedure/SurgeryUrodynamic investigations (stated above)
Urodynamic investigations before and after an Solyx sling protocol.
Procedure/SurgeryUrodynamic investigations (stated above.)
