Abstract
- Female urinary stress incontinence is not an uncommon surgical problem. Seventeen women with genuine stress incontinence underwent bladder neck suspension according to Gittes' procedure. The mean follow-up period was 9.8 months (3-19 months). Fourteen patients (82%) were cured and three (18%) significantly improved. The complications were not serious and the incidence was low. The 'no-incision' pubovaginal suspension is quick (mean operation time: 53 min), easy to perform and has a short hospital stay (mean : 6.5 days). While longer follow-up is required, our early experience suggests that this operation merits further evaluation in patients with grade I and grade II stress incontinence.
