title: [Pubo-vaginal percutaneous suspension by the Gittes technique for stress incontinence. Initial experience].
abstract: The paper presents our initial experience with endoscopic suspension of the vesical neck, as per the modification introduced by Gittes and based on incorporation through the vaginal mucosa of non-absorbable single-filament sutures. In this way it is feasible to use a simple non-incisive vaginal surgery with minimum morbidity. Good results have been obtained so far in six of the seven patients operated on. No complications have presented following tube retrieval on the second day. It is our belief that these initial results can be a reasonable basis to a wider use of this technique and to know its long-term results in treating stress incontinency through urethral hypermobility.
