摘要
The authors prospectively evaluated 24 consecutive female patients with type III stress urinary incontinence, ranging in age from 36 to 70 years (mean 55 years). All patients were operated upon and had a vesicourethral suspension by a Gore-Tex suburethral sling. All were evaluated urodynamically 6 and 30 months after surgery. In this group of patients clinical cure of incontinence was observed in 83.3% (20) and in the remaining 4 patients it was significantly improved. In 2 patients there was an erosion of the urethra and the sling had to be removed 3.5 years later. Five other women remained dry but complained of occasional irritative symptoms, and several urinary tract infections were recorded (2-3 per year), which were documented by positive urine cultures. In the remaining 17 patients no erosion was observed and no irritative symptoms were reported. The urodynamic evaluation revealed an excellent postoperative result both 6 months and 30 months after surgery.
