This retrospective study compares the long-term results of the Stamey bladder-neck suspension and the Burch colposuspension following operation for urinary incontinence in women. A total of 182 women underwent operation for urinary incontinence: 83 by Stamey bladder-neck suspension and 99 by Burch colposuspension. The case records were perused and questionnaires were sent to the 169 women who were still alive: 129 women had no previous operation for urinary incontinence. At follow-up in this group a median of 7 years after the operation, 32% were completely continent and 39% had improved after the Stamey method, as against 33% and 29%, respectively, after Burch (p > 0.05). The Stamey operation was associated with a lower complication rate (12%) and a lower rate of re-operation (16%) than the Burch operation (23% and 22%, respectively) (p > 0.05). Previous incontinence surgery and mixed type of incontinence was associated with poor outcome in the Stamey group.

Article Synopsis
- The Stamey procedure, widely used in the 1980s for female stress incontinence, was abandoned due to high complication rates, particularly graft erosion.
- An 84-year-old woman experienced urinary symptoms 40 years post-surgery, leading to the discovery of an eroded Dacron graft in her bladder wall.
- This case emphasizes the need for awareness of past surgical techniques, as complications can arise many years later, necessitating prompt investigation of related symptoms.

Stamey bladder neck suspension is thought to be an excellent procedure for stress urinary incontinence in selected groups of patients. However we must not ignore the complications of this procedure. We report a case of a patient who developed a delayed reaction with bladder wall erosion to the Dacron buttress used in Stamey urethropexy 19 years before.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term continence rate, subjective satisfaction and treatment-associated morbidity in a carefully selected group of patients undergoing Stamey bladder neck suspension.
Material And Methods: We studied 24 women with objectively validated genuine stress urinary incontinence (GSI) who were treated using the Stamey needle colposuspension method. Follow-up was performed by means of a questionnaire, a urodynamic assessment and a new standardized quantification test.
Polypropilene sling of the bulbar urethra for post-radical prostatectomy incontinence.

Objective: We present details of a modification of the Stamey procedure using a polypropilene mesh to compress the corpus spongiosum of the bulbar urethra in the treatment of sphincteric incompetence following radical prostatectomy.
Materials And Methods: Between September 1999 and June 2000 nine patients 66-80 years old (mean age 74) with severe incontinence due to radical prostatectomy underwent the bulbourethral sling procedure with polypropilene (Prolene) mesh implant. After transperineal incision a 5cmx4cm rectangular prolene mesh was placed against the bulbar urethra and suspended by four prolene sutures transferred to a suprapubic incision through ligature carriers as in the four corner bladder and bladder neck suspension.
