Abstract

Experience with 20 endoscopic vesical neck suspensions (Stamey procedure) is compared to 20 matched anterior cystourethropexies (Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure) performed by the same staff. The present procedure is a transvaginal vesical neck suspension, described in 1959 by Pereyra, modified in 1973 by Stamey and further modified in 1975 by Mason. The long-term success rate for relief of urinary stress incontinence was 90 per cent with either procedure. Advantages and disadvantages of the endoscopic vesical neck suspension are discussed.
