  • Title: [Influencing of subjective and objective parameters in female incontinence through vaginal hysterectomy with colporrhaphy (author's transl)].
    Author: Grüneberger A, Geier G.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1980 Jan; 40(1):12-6. PubMed ID: 7188758.
    Abstract:
    50 out of 657 stress-incontinent women were explored before and 19 months after vaginal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior colporrhapy as follows: 1) degree of incontinence, 2) lateral urethrocystography, 3) simultaneous pressure recordings of bladder urethra and rectum. Urodynamical investigations showed a continence zone in one third of the patients after surgery. The descensus was normalized in one third and improved in two third of the cases. The operation failed in 6%, 22% had an improvement, and 72% felt cured from their stress-incontinence. Our investigations show poor correlation between clinical symptoms, urodynamical, and radiological findings.
