Abstract

In this book dealing with minimally invasive endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques in gynaecology and obstetrics, a chapter concerning the vaginal approach for incontinence surgery may seem somewhat strange. However, vaginal surgery for stress incontinence and prolapse still plays a pivotal role in this era of minimally invasive surgery. Besides simple anterior colporrhaphy with Kelly plication, abdominal approaches are most popular for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Needle suspension was introduced by Armand Pereyra, a US Navy gynaecologist, and further popularised, modified and widely implemented by American urologists from 1957 on. The term endoscopic needle suspension refers to vaginal needle suspension techniques under cystoscopic control. In this chapter, the techniques, indications and results of vaginal needle suspension techniques will be discussed.
