Ultrasound measurement of detrusor thickness in bladder instability in women
– Ultrasound was used to measure the detrusor thickness in 20 women with urodynamically-proved detrusorial instability. In 95% of the cases, detrusor thickness is greater than or equal to 5 mm. Comparison with a control group confirms the reliability of these results.
Biofeedback and functional perineal electro-stimulation in male urinary incontinence
– The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback (BF) and of electrostimulation (SEF) of the perineal floor in male patients suffering from urinary incontinence. Eleven patients entered the study, five of them suffering from mixed urinary incontinence and six from pure stress incontinence. They were treated with six sittings of BF, SEF and domiciliary exercises. The results are promising. Additional monthly sittings and domiciliary SEF maintenance are advised.
