“…Ultrasound allows visualizing implants used in urogynecological patients, that is why pelvic floor ultrasound is now an imaging of choice in evaluating patients after mesh implantation [6,7]. It is also often used to evaluate women with stress urinary incontinence before and after suburethral sling implantation [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Objectives: Analysis of feasibility, efficacy and short-term results after six-arm transvaginal mesh OPUR implantation in women with apical prolapse. Material and methods:The same surgeon operated all of 39 women using mesh OPUR. Preoperatively patients had a standardized interview and clinical examination. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were analyzed. Postoperative evaluation included standardized interview, clinical examination and standardized pelvic floor ultrasound performed with 2D transvaginal probe and 4D abdominal probe.Results: There was no complication that needed operative intervention. Hematomas in 3 patients resolved spontaneously. Transient voiding difficulties which lasted less than 7 days were observed in 5 patients. No erosion was observed. Comparison of pre-and postoperative results in 34 women revealed that in all 3 compartments improvement in POP-Q scale was statistically significant (p < 0.0000). One patient with malposition and rolled up mesh needed re-operation. During PFS-TV in 94.1% of patients urethra was normobile or hypermobile. In all of the patients urethral end of the mesh was positioned far enough from the middle part of the urethra (ultrasound) to implant suburethral sling without risk of collision. Sexually active women did not inform of any important discomfort or pain during intercourse. Conclusions:It seems that six-arm OPUR mesh, if implanted under strict surgical rules, gives low risk of complications and high chance to successfully reduce POP symptoms in short term after the operation. It seems that OPUR mesh should not have negative influence on the results after anti-incontinence suburethral sling.

“…Several sonographic approaches have been used for the study of urogynecologic symptoms: suprapubic, translabial, transvaginal, transperineal, introital, 2D, 3D and 4D [1,13,19]. There is no consensus on optimal approach to be used for different situations.…”

“…The measurements of small pelvis structures with USG showed good reproducibility [11][12][13][14]. Dietz et al showed that the ultrasound perineal evaluation of bladder neck mobility performed with a transabdominal probe has a good reproducibility, even if repeated 32-122 days after the first test [15,16].…”

Objectives: The aim of the study was the evaluation of repeatability and reproducibility of chosen urethral neck mobility measurements obtained during introital pelvic floor sonography performed with a 2D transvaginal probe. Material and methods:In order to assess the repeatability and reproducibility, independent measurements on the ultrasound image were taken by two specialists on 92 female patients at rest and at strain (Valsalva maneuver). 2D ultrasound examination was performed introitally with a transvaginal probe (PFS-TV). The location of the urethral internal orifice was defined with coordinates of two points. Point CI marks the urethral anterior edge visualized on ultrasound as closer to the pubic symphysis. Point CII marks the posterior edge visualized more peripherally from pubic symphysis.Results: Repeatability and reproducibility measurements of point CI location and mobility were good and very good (0.6710-0.9961), while of point CII -were medium, good and very good (0.5738-0.9944). Point CI was clearly visible in all cases. It was not possible to accurately mark point CII in 4.3-17.4% of cases. Conclusions:The possibility to visualize point CI in every single case with very good and good repeatability and reproducibility of measurements of this point's location and mobility allows the usage of CI point as a universal reference point for evaluation of bladder neck mobility and position during PFS-TV in the clinical practice and for research purposes.

Objectives-The accurate, rapid diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women can profoundly improve their sexual and psychosocial life. In this study, the diagnostic power of SUI was assessed by transperineal ultrasound.Methods-In this hospital-based case-control study, married women who were referred to the gynecologic and ultrasound wards with negative urinalysis and culture results were enrolled by random sampling. Patients with positive cough signs based on the urodynamic testing data were considered cases, whereas control women showed no cough symptoms and were recruited from the same ward.Results-There was a significant difference (P < .001) in bladder neck descent (mean AE SD, 10.89 AE 5.51 versus 7.08 AE 2.60 mm, respectively; P = .0001) and the retrovesical (β) angle with the Valsalva maneuver (144.22 AE 19.63 versus 111.81 AE 24.47 ; P < .001) between the case and control groups. Also, the β angle without the Valsalva maneuver was higher in the case group (112.35 AE 23.10 ) than the control group (120.17 AE 25.16 ; P = .001). There was no case of a urinary leak, urethral diverticulitis, a bladder stone or mass, and cystourethrocele in the patients of each group. The results of multivariate logistic regression with a backward method showed that bladder neck descent (odds ratio [OR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.40), the β angles with and without the Valsalva maneuver (OR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.06-1.13; and OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06) were the predictors of SUI. A β angle higher than 127 with the Valsalva maneuver, with an area under the curve of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.75-0.96), could very well predict the SUI response. This finding shows that it can be very well used to distinguish between normal and non-normal responses, with 89% sensitivity and 79% specificity.Conclusions-The β angle with the Valsalva maneuver could very well predict the SUI response. Key Words-diagnosis; female urogenital diseases; retrovesical angle; stress urinary incontinence; transperineal ultrasound S tress urinary incontinence (SUI) is one of the crucial pelvic floor disorders, affecting many women around the world. 1 This disease occurs with an incidence rate ranging from 10% to 30% in different ethnicities/races. 2 Stress urinary incontinence is defined as unintended urine leakage by coughing, sneezing, lifting, or laughing, which can rigorously impair the patient's quality of life 3 and negatively affect her social and sexual life. Women with this problem will avoid social gatherings and lose
