The effect of meatal correction on daytime urinary incontinence in girls with an anterior deflected urinary stream

Girls with an anterior deflected urinary stream (ADUS) are known to wet the toilet rim and their buttocks while voiding. This deviation may prevent adopting an ideal toileting position and can thus develop into a functional voiding disorder. Although surgical correction of the urinary stream by a meatotomy is part of standard care in girls with ADUS and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) at our center, little is known about the effect of this procedure on daytime urinary incontinence (DUI).
