[Suspension of the bladder neck for urinary stress incontinence under local anesthesia].

Bladder neck suspension under local anesthesia is a new technique for the treatment of stress incontinence in females which can be done under private clinic conditions. The procedure is a modification of Stamey-Pereyra operation. It has already been applied in 34 patients with a success rate of 80% with low morbidity. A higher success rate was achieved in patients who had no gynaecological or surgical operations previously. The purpose of the technique that we used on these patients is to restore anatomic position without causing urethral obstruction.
