THE RELIABILITY OF URODYNAMIC ASSESSMENT IN CONFIRMATION OF STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE IN RELATION TO BONNEY TEST.

According to the International Continence Society, stress (static) urinary incontinence is defined as any involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion, due to which intravesical pressure overcomes urethral pressure, with no detrusor activity. Urodynamic testing accurately assesses the function of the bladder and urethra. The urodynamic assessment includes three tests: cystometry, uroflowmetry and profilometry (determination of urethral pressure profile).
