Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging to Control the Placement of Tension-Free Transobturator Tape in Female Urinary Stress Incontinence

Table 4

Comparison of sonographic parameters between cured and uncured patients. The results are given as median (range). Distance between the anterior margin of the TOT and the inferoposterior margin of the symphysis pubis (TSD). Distance between the anterior margin of the TOT and the longitudinal smooth muscle (LSM) complex of the urethra (TUD). Mann-Whitney test.
