Cost-effective treatment of female stress urinary incontinence: modified Pereyra bladder neck suspension.
We herein report on the cost effectiveness of the modified Pereyra bladder neck suspension (MPBNS) compared with the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz (MMK) retropubic suspension procedure. A total of 82 cases was reviewed retrospectively. The MPBNS was found to provide a 41 per cent cost savings with significantly shorter duration of intravenous fluid administration, shorter duration of postoperative indwelling catheter drainage, shorter operative time, and significantly shorter postoperative hospitalization. Early postoperative intermittent catheterization was a major factor in facilitating early discharge after MPBNS.
