ABSTRACT

The role of chain cystourethrogram in the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is still controversial. This study evaluates the diagnostic significance of beaded-chain cystourethrogram in 37 women with stress urinary incontinence and 18 continent women as control. The results were as follows 1. In women with SUI, the degree of urinary incontinence was divided into three groups by Stamey classification Grade I in 4 patients, grade III in 23 patients and Grade III in 10 patients. 2. The range of posterior urethrovesical angle was as follows those of 2 cases (5.4%) of incontinent women and 2 cases (11.1%) of continent women were in the range of 90-100 degrees (normal) showed, those of 16 cases (45.2%) of incontinent women and 12 cases (66.7%) of continent women were in the range or 101-150 degrees. And those of 19 cases (51.4%) of incontinent women and 4 cases (22.2%) of continent women were in the range of 151-180 degrees (p>0.05). 3. The range of urethral inclination was as follows those of 12 cases (32.4%) of incontinent women were abnormal (>45%). but those of all continent women were within normal range (p0.05).
