[Role of the bladder neck in urinary continence in women after urethropexy].
We conducted a clinical, radiological and urodynamic study in 70 patients submitted to different urethropexy techniques (Kelly, Raz, Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz, Burch, simplified Ramírez) to determine the importance of the bladder neck in the treatment of urinary incontinence. Urethropexy achieved a significant increase in the percentage of patients with an open bladder neck during the filling phase. However, the opening of the bladder neck posturethropexy did not influence urinary continence.
