[Stress incontinence in women--the evaluation and interpretation of intra-urethral pressure profiles obtained by microtransducers (author's transl)].

In 100 women urethrocystometric investigations were carried out with the microtransducer method. The women were of different height and the examinations were done at different states of bladder filling. The interpretation of the resting and stress pressure profiles of the urethra were done according to well defined parameters. The profiles were studied in continent and in continent women regarding their diagnostic value. From the results guidelines for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of stress incontinence were derived, discussed and conclusions for treatment are outlined.
