About this study

Transperineal ultrasonography is gaining importance in preoperative and postoperative evaluation of the patient with urinary incontinence with allowing well detailed information about the anterior compartment.

There is little evidence that transperineal sonography can aid surgeons to predict the success or failure after mid-urethral slings.

We aimed to investigate the efficacy of sonography in mini-sling operations to predict the success or failure.

Read the detailed description

Women who are scheduled for anti-incontinence operation due to their stress urinary incontinence will be pre- and postoperatively evaluated by transperineal and introital ultrasound.

Patients will be followed for at least 1 year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The correlation of failure with the sonographic features of the mesh

    Patients will be accepted as failure if their stress test is positive Sonographic features of the mesh includes the shape of the mesh, the distance to the mid-urethra, the position related to the proximal urethra and the angle between the mesh arms on coronal axis

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Nocturia

    The nocturia episodes will be evaluated by a "non-validated" Likert scale (between 0-3). Minimum and minimum scores are between 0 and 3. "0" will mean no episode of urinating during the sleep. "1" will mean one episode of nocturia. "2" will mean two episodes of nocturia. "3" will mean three or more episodes of nocturia. Higher values represent worse outcome.

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks and preoperatively

  2. Urge symptoms

    Michigan Incontinence Severity Index (M-ISI) scale will be used to assess subjective outcome including urge symptoms. This scale has ten items, consisting of a total M-ISI domain (the sum of items 1-8) and a distinct Bother domain (the sum of items 9 and 10). The total M-ISI score consists of three subdomains (items 1-3 for stress urinary incontinence [SUI], items 4-6 for urge urinary incontinence [UUI], and items 7 and 8 for Pad usage [PU]. The responses for each item range from 0 to 4 on a Likert-type scale, with higher values representing greater symptoms and greater bother. Total domain and subdomain scores are obtained by simply adding the respective answers. The minimally important difference has been determined for the following domains/subdomains: total M-ISI (4 points), SUI (2 points), UUI (2 points), and PU (1 point).

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks and preoperatively

  3. Subjective success

    Patient Global Improvement of Improvement will be used to assess the subjective success

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks

  4. POP-Q

    POP-Q measurements will be assessed to measure the pelvic floor prolapse if exist

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks and preoperatively

  5. Anterior compartment mobility distances

    On maximal Valsalva maneuver: Bladder neck descent (mm), pubourethral distance (mm), urethral thickness (mm, measured at proximal, mid and distal portions) and urethral length (mm)

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks and preoperatively

  6. Anterior compartment mobility angles

    On maximal Valsalva maneuver: Proximal urethral rotation (degree), retrovesical angle (degree)

    Measured: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks and preoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Incontinence,Stress, run by Bartin State Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation of failure with the sonographic features of the mesh (time frame: Evaluation at postoperative 1st and 4th weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03763097, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Apr 2019.
