Endoscopic transvaginal bladder neck suspension for stress urinary incontinence.
We report the short-term results in 23 women who underwent endoscopic transvaginal bladder neck suspension for stress urinary incontinence. During follow-up for 3-14 months (mean 6 months) complete dryness was achieved in 15 (79%) of the 19 patients. Significant improvement with only minor occasional leaks after surgery was observed in 2 patients (10.5%) and the remaining 2 cases (10.5%) were failures. Four patients were lost to follow-up. No serious complication was noted. This relatively easy operation with acceptable success and morbidity rates has been found to be comparable with the other surgical techniques being used.
