ABSTRACT
An evaluation of the surgical treatment for stress and mixed urinary incontinence and pelvic relaxation. One-year follow-up, was done. A retrospective study with 144 files from the surgeries performed between February 1993 and June 1994, at the Clínica de Urología Ginecológica del Instituto Nacional de Perinatología. We excluded 37 files because of incomplete information. The age, parity, hormonal stage, preoperative diagnosis by urodynamic studies, surgical treatments and one-year follow-up were analyzed. The mean age was 45.5 years. Pereyra procedure was performed in 53, Burch procedure in 47, anterior colporrhaphy in 5, and sling procedure in 2 patients. The incidence of complications was similar between the different groups. Resumption of spontaneous postsurgical voiding was delayed in the Pereyra group. The Burch urethropexy and Pereyra procedures were equally effective, with no statistical differences observed. Burch vaginal suspension was not more effective for the correction of urinary stress incontinence than Pereyra procedure.

Clinical features of severe urogenital prolapse, were studied. Fifteen patients were included in a retrospective study between January 1990 and June 1995. The diagnosis of severe uterine prolapse (where the cervix precedes the inverted vaginal tube) was the sole inclusion criteria. Age, parity, hormonal stage, occupation, simptomatology, body mass index, and the results of histopathological examinations were evaluated. The mean age was 60 years, parity most frequently observed was more than three, 80% were postmenopausal, the body mass index was 23.5, all patients were housewifes, the symptomatology that was present in 100% of the patients was the sensation of an intravaginal foreign material. The surgical treatment performed was vaginal hysterectomy. The results of histopathological examinations were in the most inflammation. The parity and postclimaterium were the principal factors associated with the pathogenesis of uterine prolapse.
