W E Collins, R P Abele

    Urology
    |September 1, 1978

    Summary

    A 1949 study showed vesicourethral suspension corrects stress incontinence. A modified technique, focusing on bladder suspension, proved equally effective for treating female stress urinary incontinence.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Female Pelvic Medicine

    Background:

    • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects women without uterine prolapse.
    • A 1949 study by Marshall, Marchetti, and Krantz proposed vesicourethral suspension for SUI.
    • Concerns arose regarding urethral suturing to the periosteum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate an alternative vesicourethral suspension technique for SUI.
    • To determine if suspending the bladder's anterior wall to rectus muscles is effective.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of the original vesicourethral suspension procedure.
    • Utilizing upper sutures to suspend the bladder's anterior wall to rectus muscles.
    • Assessing the efficacy of this modified technique.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique, focusing on bladder suspension, demonstrated effectiveness.
    • This approach avoids direct urethral suturing to the periosteum.
    • The procedure proved to be a viable alternative for SUI correction.

    Conclusions:

    • A modified vesicourethral suspension technique is effective for treating SUI in women.
    • This method offers a potentially safer alternative by avoiding urethral periosteal suturing.
    • The findings support the efficacy of bladder suspension for SUI management.
