  • Title: Quality of life after a Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure for stress urinary incontinence.
    Author: Zorzos I, Paterson PJ.
    Journal: J Urol; 1996 Jan; 155(1):259-62. PubMed ID: 7490849.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We assessed the long-term results of the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 151 case records was reviewed and a questionnaire was mailed to patients to estimate the success rate and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The response rate was 67.3% (101 replies). The overall success rate was 72.8% (mean followup 51.5 months). The success rates in patients with irritative symptoms and pure stress incontinence were 65% and 82.6%, respectively. The procedure was equally effective for recurrent stress incontinence. CONCLUSIONS: The procedure is characterized by a high success rate 5 years postoperatively. The method of review, based on a mailed questionnaire, appears to be more objective than conventional reviews but further improvements may increase the accuracy.
