Urodynamics versus videourodynamics for women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence

Impact of Urodynamic and Video-urodynamic Testing on Surgical Outcomes in Women With Recurrent Urinary Incontinence

NA · University College, London · NCT07542080

This trial will test whether videourodynamics or standard urodynamics before repeat surgery helps women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence get better treatment outcomes.

What this trial studies

Researchers will perform a prospective randomized pilot of 30 women referred to the tertiary urological service at University College London Hospitals. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard urodynamic testing (UDS) or videourodynamics (VUDS) before receiving medical and surgical treatments tailored to the findings. The comparison aims to see whether adding imaging during urodynamics changes diagnostic classification, treatment choices, and short-term outcomes after repeat surgery. The study emphasizes feasibility and preliminary outcome data because existing evidence on these invasive tests is limited and controversial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adult women (18+) with recurrent stress urinary incontinence who can give informed consent and are suitable for further surgery are the ideal candidates, excluding those who are pregnant, have BMI over 35, prior pelvic radiotherapy, or relevant neurogenic disease.

Not a fit: Women who are pregnant, unfit for surgery, have BMI >35, prior pelvic radiotherapy, or neurogenic conditions risking neurogenic bladder are excluded and would not benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians choose the most informative diagnostic test before repeat incontinence surgery and reduce failed or unnecessary procedures.

How similar studies have performed: Existing studies are scarce and nonvalidated, so randomized comparisons of UDS versus VUDS remain limited and this pilot addresses a largely untested question.
