ABSTRACT
Between January 1993 and December 1995, eighteen patients were subjected to Stamey's bladder neck suspension at our center, with an overall success rate of 94.4%. All patients had preoperative uroflowmetry, water cystometry and profilometry using water-filled catheters. Resting and stress urethral pressure profiles were recorded at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively and then every 6 months thereafter. The mean follow-up was 1 year. Patients in whom surgery was successful were further subdivided into two subgroups [A and B] for the purpose of comparison. Group A included 12 patients who had achieved complete cure and group B 6 patients who showed improvement. Success was assessed both subjectively [through direct questions given on subsequent follow-up visits] and objectively [through doing a stress test at each visit]. It was found that different profilometry variables showed a statistically significant increase in postoperative traces for the successful group in general, and a significant difference existed when comparing the two subgroups
