    Author: Freedman ER, Singh G, Donnell SC, Rickwood AM, Thomas DG.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1994 Jun; 73(6):621-4. PubMed ID: 8032827.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To perform bladder neck suspension simultaneously with augmentation cystoplasty in female patients where sphincteric incompetence was not the sole cause of impaired functional bladder capacity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During an 8-year-period, 26 female patients (mean age 14, range 5-39) were treated with a Marshall-Marchetti plus cystoplasty (Liverpool) or a colposuspension plus clam cystoplasty (Sheffield). All had marked sphincteric incompetence compounded by detrusor hyper-reflexia and/or non-compliance. The patients were followed up for a mean period of 30 months (range 8-80). RESULTS: There were no major complications. At follow-up 23 (88%) were dry by day on a regime of intermittent self-catheterization. Nine patients were taking adjuvant medication, usually for prevention of nocturnal enuresis. CONCLUSION: The results compare tolerably with those of all alternative procedures, including the more elaborate reconstructions (e.g. Kropp procedure) and the expensive artificial urinary sphincter.
