title: [Treatment of urinary stress incontinence in women by percutaneous cervico-cystopexy. Gitte's operation: contribution of intraoperative ultrasonography. Apropos of 47 patients].
abstract: Between March 1988 and February 1991, 47 patients with urinary stress incontinence (USI) were treated by Gittes' operation, suspension thread traction being determined by perioperative ultrasonography in 31 of these cases. All patients were re-examined on February 1992 after a mean follow-up of 26 months (range 12 to 24 mths). The global success rate (recovery and improvement) was assessed as 72% at 3 months and 56% at follow-up. Rated as a function of closure pressure (CP), the success rate at evaluation was 62% with normal CP, 42% with CP low for age, and 33% with CP < 30 cm H20. For the 31 patients with perioperative ultrasonography examination the success rate was 80% at 3 months and 70% at follow up. As a function of CP the rate was 83% at follow up with a normal CP, 50% with a CP low for age, 37.5% with a CP < 30 cm H20. Although Gittes' operation is a simple, fairly non-aggressive intervention, results diverge widely from those obtained with "classical" techniques. Optimization of indications is essential, therefore, only patients with pure USI without hypotonia of the sphincter obtaining maximum benefit from the intervention, carried out preferably under perioperative by control ultrasonography.
