Abstract

The authors present their own modification of Stamey's operation of female stress incontinence. Using a two-needle applicator of their own design, they introduce by transvaginal punction fibres next to the cervix of the bladder into the epigastrium. By tightening the fibres they elevate the cervix of the bladder. The elevation is checked by endoscopy. Using this method they operated 25 women. They did not observe any serious complications of the operation. Previous operations in the pelvis minor did not affect the duration of the operation.
