[Treatment of urinary stress incontinence by a modified Pereyra procedure:Chrub's operation].

The authors report the utility of suspending the cervix by means of the pubo-urethrax ligaments anchored to Cooper's ligaments in treating exercise-related urinary incontinence. A prospective series of 40 female patients gave 97.5% of successful outcomes with regard to the incontinence. The use of the pubo-urethrax ligaments and the absence of subsphincterian dissection confers major urodynamic advantages, particularly with regard to closing pressure. These anatomical and physiological arguments appear to give the procedure an advantage over suspensions using the vagina wall, whether these make use of the upper or lower route. Anchoring to Cooper's ligaments should ensure long-term stability of the outcome.
