Abstract:
Endoscopic suspension of bladder neck by Stamey's procedure is a successful technique of correcting female stress urinary incontinence. We treated 27 patients complaining of urinary incontinence with Stamey operation from February, 1988 to March, 1994. The results was as follows l. Patients was distributed in age from 31 to 63 (mean; 48.8) years. All patients except one were multiparous, average 3.6(2-6)times of deliveries 2. Severities of incontinence were Grade I in 2 patients, Grade II in 20, Grade III in 5. 3. On preoperative lateral cystourethrogram, bladder base was descended about 1.1+/-0.57cm in resting, 2.63+/-1.24cm in straining from SCIPP(Sacrococcygeal-inferior point of pubic bone) line. Preoperative average PUVA(Posterior urethrovesical angle) was 142.2+/-53.27 degree, and average functional urethral length was 2.84+/-l.36cm. 4. Postoperative times of catheterization was 5.8 days, the amount of residual urine was lO5+/-10.3cc after removal of catheter. 5. Incontinence was completely disappeared in 24 patients(88.9%), but 3 patients were recurred due to break of suture material.
