OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of urodynamic test in the diagnosis of postoperative incontinence after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).

METHODSThirty-seven patients with urinary incontinence after TURP received urodynamic tests, including cystometry(CMG), pressure-flow study, rest urethral pressure profilometry(RUPP) and stress leak-point pressure (SLPP) measurement. Urethrocystography was taken when necessary.

RESULTSOf the 37 cases, 16 were diagnosed as motor urge urinary incontinence, 2 as sensory urge urinary incontinence, 17 as stress urinary incontinence and 2 as overflow urinary incontinence.

CONCLUSIONDifferent types of urinary incontinence after TURP can be clearly distinguished by urodynamic tests, which provides objective basis for the choice of adequate treatment.
