This report reviews the current problems in making the diagnosis of ISD, but emphasizes that there does appear to be a group of women with poor outlet function who are at an increased risk to fail standard anti-incontinence procedures and for this reason it is important to detect these patients during evaluation in the decision process regarding selection of an appropriate procedure on the outlet.
