title: Ten-year results of Marshall Marchetti Krantz and anterior colporraphy procedures.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate subjective results of Marshall Marchetti Krantz (MMK) and anterior colporraphy (AC) procedures.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients who had operations for genuine stress incontinence 10 years ago were surveyed regarding their current incontinence status. Results of both procedures were evaluated and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fourteen of 28 patients in the MMK group and 21 of 67 patients in the AC group were evaluated at 10 years, the cure rates were found to be 64% and 38%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We conclude that the success rate of both procedures declines over time. The anterior colporraphy procedure appears to have a lower success rate than MMK, although this was not found to be statistically significant.
