286 Chapter 11 urethral width measurement was observed (r=0.107; p=0.046) (Table 2). The results of the pre-operative MRI-measurements showed a significantly longer MUL (13.18 vs 9.87 mm, p=0.001) and VUL (10,74 vs 6,47 mm, p=0,009) in continent patients compared to those with incontinence. The VUW and MUW did not show significant difference among the continent and incontinent patients (Table 3).
