Abstract:
Stamey endoscopic suspension of bladder neck is a reliable technique among various surgical techniques with high success rate and little morbidity. We treated 8 patients complaining of urinary incontinence with Stamey operation from February 1988 to May 1990 and Follow-up for over 6 months. The results as follows; 1. Patients varied in age from 31 to 63 (mean;45) years. All patients were multiparous average 2.87 (2-4) times of previous deliveries 2. All patients showed frequency and nocturia. Severities of incontinence were Grade I in2 patients, Grade II in 5, Grade III in 1 3. No significant changes were identified between preoperative and postoperative urethral pressure profiles. 4. On preoperative lateral cystourethrograms, bladder base was descended about -2.10+-0.74cm from SCIPP line and elevated about +1.2 cm+/-0.49 cm from SCIPP line on postoperative lateral cystourethrograms. 5. Incontinence was disappeared in 7 patients, but 1 patients was recurred due to rupture of suture material during lifting heavy material.
