Suprapubic endoscopic vesical neck suspension (Stamey procedure) for control of urinary incontinence in a woman following cauda equina injury.
Suprapubic endoscopic suspension of the vesical neck is a popular and effective procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. A woman who suffered a traumatic cauda equina injury had areflexic detrusor dysfunction with normal intravesical filling pressure. The patient had moderate proximal urethral dysfunction resulting in incontinence despite an adequate intermittent self-catheterization regimen and treatment with an alpha-sympathomimetic drug. Following suprapubic endoscopic vesical neck suspension she has remained totally continent on intermittent self-catheterization.
