Ten-year results of Marshall Marchetti Krantz and anterior colporraphy procedures.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate subjective results of Marshall Marchetti Krantz (MMK) and anterior colporraphy (AC) procedures.

STUDY

DESIGN

Patients who had operations for genuine stress incontinence 10 years ago were surveyed regarding their current incontinence status. Results of both procedures were evaluated and compared.

RESULTS

Fourteen of 28 patients in the MMK group and 21 of 67 patients in the AC group were evaluated at 10 years, the cure rates were found to be 64% and 38%, respectively.

CONCLUSION

We conclude that the success rate of both procedures declines over time. The anterior colporraphy procedure appears to have a lower success rate than MMK, although this was not found to be statistically significant.
