Video Summary

In this video, the utility of multi-compartment two-dimensional sonographic dynamic functional assessment of voiding dysfunction following sling surgery is demonstrated. Post-operative voiding dysfunction occurs in a small percentage of sling surgeries. Accurately distinguishing between urethral obstruction and bladder dysfunction is challenging in patients with irritative symptoms. The video shows how two-dimensional functional assessment of sling dynamics using ultrasound can be useful in assessing patients with voiding dysfunction after sling surgery. Various case studies are presented, highlighting the different ways slings can cause obstruction and the importance of accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment. The video concludes that transecting the sling can lead to the resolution of symptoms in most cases. The BK Medical ProFocus UltraView is used for the ultrasound assessments.
