Success and patient satisfaction following the Stamey procedure for stress urinary incontinence. 1992

G T Walker, and J H Texter

Division of Urology, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield.

A long-term followup survey to determine patient satisfaction following Stamey endoscopic vesicourethral suspension was obtained by means of a mail-in questionnaire. A total of 284 charts was reviewed and surveys were mailed, 17 of which were returned for lack of a forwarding address. A total of 192 replies was received for a 72% response rate. Overall improvement was found to be 82%, with approximately half of these patients found to be totally dry. When asked if they would be willing to go through the experience again 65% said they would. Criteria for the success or failure of the procedure were determined, weighing the degree of dryness against the previously mentioned question. With these criteria there was an overall success rate of 73%. Pulmonary disease, body weight greater than 86 kg., prior Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure and concomitant abdominal hysterectomy lowered the success rate. Prior hysterectomy and concomitant vaginal hysterectomy had no influence on the success rate.
