title: [Endoscopic retropubic colpopexy for stress urinary incontinence in women (Stamey's operation). 55 cases].
abstract: Fifty five women with a mean age of 59 years, suffering from urinary stress incontinence (U.S.I.), were treated by endoscopic percutaneous cervicocystopexy (Stamey's operation), 39 patients (71%) suffered from pure U.S.I. and 16 (29%) presented a combination of stress and urge incontinence. Bonney's manoeuvre was positive in every case. With a mean follow-up of 21.5 months, 30 patients (58.8%) were completely continent, 9 (17.6%) presented occasional incontinence with intense effort, 12 (23.5%) were failures and 4 patients were lost to follow-up. The complications were minimal. The results were less favourable in patients with a history of pelvic surgery, particularly for correction of U.S.I., associated urge incontinence, detrusor hyperactivity or low urethral closure pressure, although one half of the patients in this group were nevertheless cured. Stamey's operation is a simple, reliable, easily reproducible technique which gives good results at the cost of low morbidity, short hospital stay and a low cost.
