Colpo-urethrocystopexy--a simple method for treatment of genuine primary stress incontinence.

Colpo-urethrocystopexy was performed on 195 women. The patients had been observed for a period ranging from 1 to 7 years. One hundred and eighty-seven of them are continent, while there were 8 relapses (5 patients a complete relapse and 3 patients partial relapse). The postoperative complications were minimal: incisional infections (4.1%), acute urinary tract infections (8.7%). The abdominal colpo-urethrocystopexy was combined with other primary gynecologic operations in 44 patients. This operating technique is uncomplicated and successful in correcting stress urinary incontinence in women.
