In a series of 35 cases, I used a relatively uncommon but simple operation to correct urinary stress incontinence by the abdominal route. The operation is known as vesicourethrolysis and consists of dissection of the tissues in the space of Retzius. This establishes an anatomical urethrovesical angle without suturing and relieves urinary stress incontinence. The operation was first described in 1951 by Mulvaney, and although it has been done by others since, apparently with good results, the operation has never gained great popularity. Comparison of this operation with the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure shows that vesicourethrolysis yields excellent results with minimal complications. Different criteria are used to establish the indications for vesicourethrolysis versus the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure.

Challenges of Very Long-term Reporting in Stress Urinary Incontinence Surgeries in Women.
Urology
May 2020
UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX. Electronic address:
Objective: To review studies on surgeries to correct stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with very long-term results (≥ 10 years) to explore the challenges in reporting long-term follow-up.
Methods: A comprehensive Ovid and PubMed search was conducted for articles containing long-term data over 10 years for the most commonly established surgical procedures to correct SUI. The methods of follow-up, lost to follow-up (LTF) rates, cure rates, and complications were compared.

Health Services Research Unit, University of Aberdeen, 3rd Floor, Health Sciences Building, Foresterhill, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, AB25 2ZD.
Background: Anterior vaginal repair (anterior colporrhaphy) is an operation traditionally used for moderate or severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. About a third of adult women experience urinary incontinence. SUI imposes significant health and economic burden to the society and the women affected.

Background: Urinary incontinence is a common and potentially debilitating problem. Stress urinary, incontinence as the most common type of incontinence, imposes significant health and economic burdens on society and the women affected. Open retropubic colposuspension is a surgical treatment which involves lifting the tissues near the bladder neck and proximal urethra in the area behind the anterior pubic bones to correct deficient urethral closure to correct stress urinary incontinence.

Severe complications and failures of incontinence surgery using the Remeex(®) adjustable tension sling (external mechanical regulator).
Actas Urol Esp
November 2015
Departamento de Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública, Universidad de Salamanca, Salamanca, España.
Objectives: Since 1999, we have performed implantations of Remeex® adjustable prosthetics as rescue treatment for complex or persistent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after failure of other surgical treatments (Burch colposuspension, Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz (MMK) or tension-free transvaginal tape [TVT] until 2003 and transobturator tape [TOT] since 2003). We present the results of our series, which include cases with severe complications.
Material And Method: Retrospective study of women diagnosed with complex or refractory SUI who underwent Remeex(®) implantation between October 1999 and December 2013.
