Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethropexy and Burch colposuspension for stress urinary incontinence in women with low pressure and hypermobility of the urethra: early results of a prospective randomized clinical trial
Article Abstract:
The Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethropexy appears to be more effective than Burch colposuspension for surgically treating stress urinary incontinence. In a study of 30 women, all of the women who received the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethropexy were cured, compared to 66% of those who received the Burch colposuspension.
