Opening the bladder allows for excellent exposure and more accurate placement of sutures for correction of stress urinary incontinence. The results of our first 100 cases with a minimum 3-year followup are presented. Because of the high success rate with minimal morbidity or complications we recommend this procedure as the operation of choice for surgical correction of stress urinary incontinence.
The significance of antibiotics as prophylaxis is related to their role in defending against anticipated infection. The critical factor is not only the antibiotic itself, but also the time of administration, which must be within a "decisive period" of three to four hours after the incision. Any inhibitor or enhancer of bacterial growth in a surgical incision must act during this critical period if it is to be effective. The incidence of infection is correlated with the presence of infected urine. Thus, perimanipulative antibiotic coverage can reduce the risk of infection in patients with infected urine.
