[Valsalva minimal leak point pressure: a useful approximation to type III female urinary incontinence].

TL;DRAbstract

Valsalva minimum leak point pressure is a reproducible, reliable, useful and easily measured parameter in diagnosing female stress urinary incontinence. It allows approximation of the abdominal pressure to the level at which urinary leakage is produced during the filling phase of cystomanometry and gives us an idea of the extent of the intrinsic sphincteric damage, if any. Not only is sphincter damage demonstrated in type III urinary incontinence, but that it may also coexist to a varying degree with complex sphincteric malposition.
