  • Title: Transvaginal colposuspension for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence combined with vaginal hysterectomy: a preliminary report.
    Author: Barlas P, Hatzipapas J, Bias A, Athanasopoulos A.
    Journal: Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct; 1996; 7(1):20-3. PubMed ID: 8798082.
    Abstract:
    The authors used a new, simple, modified transvaginal needle colposuspension technique in combination with vaginal hysterectomy for uterine prolapse and cystocele repair. The technique was used in 20 women with genuine stress incontinence which was urodynamically proven. One year after operation, 90% of patients were clinically normal and 85% were urodynamically cured. The advantages of this new technique are that the cost of the needle is low, it can be applied in all cases where a vaginal approach is necessary, and the method of needle insertion avoids perforation of the bladder.
