Vaginal Elasticity Assessment Before and After Surgical Repair for Urinary Stress Incontinence.

Vaginal Elasticity Assessment Before and After the Affect of Surgical Repair for Urinary Stress Incontinence (USI) on Vaginal Elasticity as Measured by Vaginal Tactile Imaging.

Female patients with USI will be evaluated for vaginal elasticity using vaginal tactile imaging both before and after surgery for the repair of the USI. Surgical repair will be performed by a single surgeon who will perform a tension free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) repair.

Patients will be recruited and sign a consent form. The patients included are patients with USI that are candidates for a TVT-O repair.

Assessment of vaginal elasticity via vaginal tactile imaging will be performed at 3 different points:

• The day of surgery before surgery.
• The day after surgery.
• 3 months post-operational. Every patient will serve as her own control. Demographic, gynecologic and obstetric history will be obtained from patients' electronic files.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Any woman undergoing USI repair.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Women with high grade pelvic floor prolapse.
