Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence who have undergone urodynamic evaluations before and after surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of cardiovascular, neurological, or other significant medical conditions, as well as those who have had concurrent surgical procedures, may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the efficacy and safety of the trans-obturator tape (TOT) as a surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It involves a retrospective analysis of urodynamic parameters before and after the TOT procedure, including free uroflowmetry, postvoid residual, filling and voiding cystometry, and urethral pressure profile. The aim is to determine whether the bladder's voiding function is affected by the increased outlet resistance provided by the TOT. Data will be analyzed using statistical methods to assess differences in urodynamic measurements over time.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve surgical outcomes for patients with stress urinary incontinence by providing insights into bladder function post-surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar surgical approaches for treating stress urinary incontinence, indicating a potential for success.
