    Abstract:
    Patients with proven stress incontinence were subjected to surgical treatment which combined both sling and Stamey-Pereyra techniques. A 3-4 cm long and 1,5-2 cm wide sling of Bulgarian polyamide mesh was placed under the urethrovesical junction using a small vaginal incision. Two long polyamide sutures were tied to either end of the mesh and were retrieved from the vagina to the abdomen by Pereyra needle inserted through two small suprapubic incisions and guided by the vaginal forefinger. The technique of the procedure is described. A total number of 27 patients were operated on. Two of them has their suspending sutures cut postoperatively because of prolonged urinary retention. The remaining 25 were continent. The technique proposed combines the advantages of the sling procedures (high efficiency especially in cases of severe and recurrent incontinence) and the simplicity of Stamey-Pereyra suspension technique. On the other hand the Bulgarian polyamide mesh showed very good qualities. No infection, rejection or sling erosion were observed.
