Is it possible to diagnose intrinsic sphincter deficiency in women?

Abstract: Intrinsic sphincter deficiency is an imprecise diagnosis, which continues to be defined by a low pressure urethra. This can be measured in different ways but there is poor standardization of the tests to do so. Intrinsic sphincter deficiency appears to be clinically important but the full implications of this diagnosis will remain unknown until this imprecision is addressed.

“…Exclusion of these patients successfully avoided inclusion of any patients with ISD, VLPP \60 cm H 2 O. UH, caused by a poorly supported proximal urethra, is the key factor in the development of simple SUI, and results in mild or moderate incontinence compared with ISD [23,24]. To explain the mechanism of SUI, DeLancey proposed the ''the hammock theory,'' according to which fascial attachments connect the periurethral tissue and anterior vaginal wall to the arcus tendineus at the pelvic side wall, while muscle attachments connect the periurethral tissue to the medial border of the levator ani muscle.…”
