In this study we present our experience from the application of the bladder neck suspension as modified by Raz on 37 patients. All patients had severe genuine stress incontinence. Twenty of them had undergone previous surgery for the same problem, and 16 patients had had a previous hysterectomy. In addition 15 patients had a small cystocele. In all cases, the Raz procedure was performed by the same surgical team. The follow-up ranged from 8-32 months (mean follow-up 15.4). The overall success rate was 86.5%. Patients with no history of previous surgery and all patients with cystocele were cured. The 5 failures occurred in patients with previous surgery and hysterectomy. The complications were few. It is concluded that the Raz bladder neck suspension is a safe and effective method for the treatment of stress incontinence, especially in cases with cystocele or failure after primary treatment.
