Ed. Riza et As. Deshmukh, A LAPAROSCOPIC-ASSISTED EXTRAPERITONEAL BLADDER NECK SUSPENSION - AN INITIAL EXPERIENCE, Journal of laparoendoscopic surgery, 4(5), 1994, pp. 319-324
A new procedure is described for the correction of stress urinary inco
ntinence caused by hypermobility of the urethrovesical junction using
an extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach with the use of a new needle.
There has been no previous publication of this approach. The initial
study shows that this procedure offers technical advantages over the e
xisting procedures and requires short hospitalization, less use of pos
toperative pain medication, and early recovery. We hope to report a lo
ng-term follow-up in the future.
