Modified Pereyra procedure for female stress incontinence

28 patients were treated with the modified Pereyra procedure for female stress urinary incontinence. In 12 patients this was the primary operative correction of the complaints and resulted in total continence in 10 patients (83%). The other patients had a recurrent stress incontinence which might have contributed to lower success rate of 54% in the total series. Due to less extensive surgery than in suprapubic urethropexy and due to low complication rate we feel that the modified Pereyra procedure is a good alternative as a primary operation for stress urinary incontinence.
