  • Title: [What can be expected from suspension of the bladder neck in effort incontinence of urine? 85 operated cases (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    Among the large number of technics proposed to cure effort urinary incontinence in women, two types of operation are usually considered: --indirect cervico-cystopexy or colopexy (Marshall-Marchietti-Krantz operation or its derivatives); --operations of catapult type or suspension of the bladder neck, e.g. Goebell-Stoeckel's operation. The latter was chosen exclusively by us over the last ten years. We have thus grouped together 85 cases of effort urinary incontinence operated and followed up for a period of 1 to 11 years. At five years, this operation gave 82.85% good results and a delay of two years seemed to us the minimum necessary to assess these results. We noted 6 failures (7.05%) and 4 relapses (4.7%). Suspension of the bladder neck is often disputed and even denigrated. Some authors consider it is the best operation available especially in cases of relapse of effort incontinence [21]. Its technical difficulty has been reproached. Our objective thus double: --describe our technic of musculo-aponeurotic suspension of the bladder neck; --give our results emphasising the long term results. We thus hope to prove that this operation maintains its place in the treatment of effort incontinence.
