title: Comparison of anterior colporrhaphy versus Bologna procedure in women with genuine stress incontinence.
abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the anterior colporrhaphy and the Bologna operation for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse associated with genuine urinary incontinence (GSI). Sixty-two women undergoing surgery for GSI and concurrent grade 2-3 cystocele were the subjects of the study. Anterior colporraphy was performed on 31 women (group A) and the Bologna operation on another 31 (group B). The mean follow-up was 3 years (range 2-7). Perioperative complications, including urinary tract infections, occurred in 16% of group A versus 42% of group B (P<0.001). Anatomic success regarding the prolapse was, respectively, 92.9% (26/28) and 84.6% (22/26) (P = 0.25). Subjective cure rates of GSI (patient history) were 57.1% in group A (16/28) and 87% in group B (23/26) (P<0.05). Objective cure rates of GSI (negative stress test result) were 53.6% in group A (15/28) and 84.6% in group B (22/26) (P<0.02). We concluded that the Bologna operation was more effective for treating GSI associated with anterior vaginal prolapse than was anterior colporraphy, with an increased rate of morbidity and postoperative urinary retention.
