Abstract
To determine the effectiveness of a vaginal retropubic urethropexy with intraoperative cystometry in treating urinary stress incontinence. One hundred patients with genuine stress incontinence on urodynamic examination underwent the procedure and were followed up for 1 year; 96 completed the follow-up (four were lost to follow-up). At 1 year, 91 patients (95%) were cured of their stress incontinence and five (5%) failed, with recurrent stress incontinence developing. The complications were mainly of suture erosion (6%). This method of urethropexy has produced excellent results to date, with low complication and morbidity rates, and continues to be our treatment of choice. A randomized control trial comparing it with standard established procedures would be welcomed.
