urethral lift test

The urethral lift test is an auxiliary test for checking the normal function of the urethra. One of the causes of tension urinary incontinence is that the posterior urethral support tissue is weakened, the bladder neck is moved down, and the posterior horn of the urethra disappears. When the abdominal pressure increases, the bladder wall that is further moved down pulls the urethral sphincter to open it, causing urinary incontinence. . Raise the bladder neck and reconstruct the posterior horn of the urethra to treat urinary incontinence. In this test, the bladder neck was raised to observe the presence or absence of urinary incontinence to determine whether there was a posterior urethra sagging.
