[Surgical methods in the management of urinary incontinence caused by genital prolapse: a review].
The authors, after of the different techniques mostly used in surgery to correct the urinary incontinence, illustrate their original technique adapted for UI caused by genital prolapse. At present, the Marchall-Marchetti-Krantz's and Goebell-Stoeckel's techniques are commonly used in this field. Since uterus lowering is the main cause of cystocele and subsequent urinary incontinence, their new technique has the principal purpose of holding the uterus permanently in it natural position. The authors limited experience is actually of only five cases; all the patients underwent an intervention of cystopexy according to their new technique described. The results obtained encourage and promote the usage of such a method, consenting them to go on with their experience.
