title: [Transvaginal colposuspension. A series of 49 cases].
abstract: Retrospective study from january 1991 to May 1993 of 49 patients undergoing transvaginal colposuspension (TVC) for urinary stress incontinence (USI).
  
  
  METHODS
  14 TVC performed using Raz's technique, including 11 with non absorbable suture material. 35 TVC were performed by longitudinal incision, including 26 with non-absorbable suture material.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Peroperative complications: 3 accidental bladder lesions (6.1%), 2 hemorrhages during detachment of Retzius (4%). Postoperative complications: temperature over 38 degrees in 10 cases (17%), 3 urinary tract infections (5.1%), 1 phlebitis (post sacro-spino-fixation). Functional results: 3 early failures at 2 months (93.9% good results). TVC is a simple technique for dealing with USI but longer follow-up is necessary for its invalidation.
