J Urol. 1990 Jan;143(1):44-5. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)39860-9.

Abstract

Several modifications of endoscopic suspension of the bladder neck for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence have been used during an 8-year period. Of 154 patients treated 25 failures occurred, for an over-all success rate of 84%. Fifteen patients had postoperative complications for an over-all complication rate of 9.8%. Hospital stay decreased steadily throughout the review period to a current average of 2.2 days, with many patients presently undergoing an operation on an outpatient basis.
