    Abstract:
    Since broad experience concerning the stability of fibrin sealing is needed, it has become part of the routine program in orthopaedics and in traumatology. Because of these experiences, we decided to modify the standard Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz-Operation replacing all sutures on both sides of the urethra and the bladder neck by fibrin sealing. So far, 76 patients have been operated using to this new method. All patients had a urinary stress incontinence grade II-III, urodynamically verified and a pronounced urethro-cystocele. To judge the results of the operation the following check-ups were instituted: 1. Urodynamic control, 2. lateral cyst-urethrogram, 3. gynecological examination (anatomical control), 4. subjective, individual evaluation of the patient concerning the involuntary loss of urine. Our study shows that we achieved good surgical and functional results as can be demonstrated both clinically and by urodynamic check-up. The advantage of this method of operation using fibrin sealing is to be seen in the broad lifting up of the anterior vaginal wall without unphysiological fixation and at the same time avoiding all risks of sutures.
