Abstract

Urinary stress incontinence was treated by the Marshall-Marchetti-Kranz (MMK) procedure in 42 and by Burch coloposuspension in 44 women. All were assessed preoperatively and for greater than 1 year postoperatively, both clinically and by urodynamic tests. Cure of incontinence was achieved to a similar extent by both procedures, in 71% after the MMK and 79% after the Burch operation. Results were better than average if there was no prolapse and if the bladder was stable preoperatively.
