Measurement scheme for the tape-pubic symphysis parameter (D’O). S – pubic symphysis, B – bladder, U – urethra, CI and CII – bladder urethral outlet, T – tape, D’O – tape-pubic symphysis parameter

Method for measuring the tape-pubic symphysis parameter (D’O) – a PFS-TV image. S – pubic symphysis, B – bladder, U – urethra, arrow – suburethral sling, 1 – a line drawn along the lower edge of the pubic symphysis, 2 – tape position in the Y axis in relation to the pubic symphysis, 3 – tape position in the X axis in relation to the pubic symphysis, 4 – tape-pubic symphysis distance

Classification of patients based on postoperative symptoms of SUI and urethral funneling. C – cured, F – failed, UF0f- – ultrasound: no urethral funneling, no urine flow; UF+f- – ultrasound: funneling present, no urine flow (short funneling); UF+f+ – ultrasound: funneling present, urine flow present (long funneling)
