[Experience with endoscopic urethrocervicopexy: long-term results].

: With the purpose of evaluating the long-term results of percutaneous endoscopic urethrocervicopexy performed in our unit since 1987, using a modified Stamey's technique, in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women, 51 patients who had undergone surgery up to June 92 were retrospectively studied. Mean time since surgery was 35 months, and satisfactory results during this time were accomplished in 60.5%, bearing in mind that the patients are totally "dry" and do not require sanitary towels. Comparison of our results and those contributed by other authors in the literature, indicating the decrease over time in the number of good results, and that between three to four years after intervention, the stress urinary incontinence reappears in one third of the women. Finally, we try to provide an statistical correlation of the cases in which continence was not achieved, including the patient's personal features or their medical-surgical background.
