The pre- and postoperative evaluation of 204 patients who underwent Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethrovesical suspension is analyzed. The major complication rate was 7.8 percent. In our hands, this operation has been a success. Our success rates were as follows: at 1 month 99 percent; at 1 year, 89.7 percent; at 5 years, 85.7 percent; at 10 years, 72 percent; and at 15 years, 75 percent.

In utilizing the ureteral reimplantation procedure we have performed 76 reimplantations and have a 96 per cent success rate on our first operation. We review our clinical indications, material, and complications as well as our over-all results. We believe that this operation as outlined is as good or better than other previously reported types of ureteral reimplantation and has avoided some of the major hazards, including no postoperative obstruction.
