Addition- ally, the presence of urethral funneling during straining was evaluated in female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Material and methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 192 female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence with the use of retropubic tension-free vaginal tape. Maximum urethral closure pressure and functional urethral length were evaluated urodynamically during resting profilometry. Ultrasound measurements, along with the assessment of funnel- ing, were performed as part of the pelvic floor examination, following the technique described by Kociszewski. Patients with clinically significant pelvic organ prolapse, a history of anterior compartment surgery, prior ra- diotherapy, or symptoms of overactive bladder were excluded from the analysis. Results: The values obtained from urodynamic and ultrasound examinations were evaluated statistically. No correlation was identified be- tween the analyzed urodynamic and ultrasound parameters. Long urethral funneling was confirmed in all patients with stress urinary incontinence assessed as eligible for the placement of tension-free vaginal tape. Conclusions: The results indicate that urodynamic and ultrasound examinations assess distinct aspects of ure- thral anatomy and function, and therefore their findings cannot be used interchangeably. Long urethral funnel- ing assessed during pelvic floor ultrasonography was noted in all patients with clinically and urodynamically confirmed stress urinary incontinence<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15557\/jou.2024.0039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T10:57:13Z","timestamp":1736765833000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Correlation
