Abstrakt: The urethral pressure profiles of 35 patients suffering from stress incontinence before and after suprapubic suspension operations have been analysed. Irrespective of the post-operative result there were no significant changes in the various characteristics of the pressure profile. The results suggest that a suspension operation for stress incontinence has no direct effect on the sphincteric urethral mechanism but places the urethra in a higher position where it can be affected by increases in intra-abdominal pressure.
