  • Title: Transvaginal bladder neck suspension to Cooper's ligament.
    Author: Koduri S, Sand P.
    Journal: Curr Urol Rep; 2001 Oct; 2(5):344-9. PubMed ID: 12084240.
    Abstract:
    Numerous surgeries have been proposed for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence, with the goals to improve functional outcome and decrease complications and their associated morbidity. Two new, minimally invasive procedures, transvaginal retropubic urethropexy and transvaginal Cooper's ligament sling, are reviewed in this article. These procedures provide a completely transvaginal approach, without the use of abdominal incisions or bone anchors. The anterior point of suspension is Cooper's ligament. The transvaginal retropubic urethropexy is used for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence with urethral hypermobility, and the transvaginal sling also may be used in the presence of intrinsic sphincteric deficiency. The procedures are described and the recent outcomes discussed.
