Popis: Sixty-five women underwent combined abdominovaginal Marlex sling procedures for recurrent stress urinary incontinence. Urodynamic evaluation consisted of uroflowmetry and simultaneous pelvic electromyographic (EMG) studies, carbon dioxide cystometry, urethral pressure profilometry, and cystometry and urethroscopy. Cure rates were 75% for urgency incontinence and 95.3% for stress incontinence. The statistically significant improvements in pre- and postoperative urodynamic parameters involved a decrease in uroflow volumes and an increase in urethral functional length, but not in maximum urethral closure pressure. Bladder capacity remained unchanged.
