OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare two antiincontinence procedures in patients with severe genitourinary prolapse and coexisting clinical or potential stress incontinence. STUDY DESIGN: In addition to cystopexy, 109 patients with a urethrocystocele of grade 2 or more and a positive stress test result with prolapse reduction received posterior pubourethral ligament plication or Pereyra suspension. RESULTS: Of 55 patients undergoing posterior pubourethral ligament plication, 15 were clinically and 40 potentially incontinent; the same figures were 21 and 33, respectively, among 54 patients undergoing the Pereyra procedure. Follow-up was for 3 to 9 years. Subjective (60% vs 71%, p = 0.72) and objective (27% vs 57%, p = 0.14) cure rates were not statistically different among patients who were clinically incontinent (posterior pubourethral ligament plication vs Pereyra suspension). Among potentially incontinent patients, subjective (85% vs 100%, p = 0.03) and objective (50% vs 76%, p = 0.04) continence rates were higher after the Pereyra procedure. Overall, the cotton swab test had negative results (maximum straining angle less than or equal to 30 degrees) after successful surgery in 79% and 96%, respectively, of patients (p = 0.03). Four subjects (7%) underwent removal of one Pereyra suture because of urinary retention or suprapubic wound infection. CONCLUSION: Cystopexy with Pereyra suspension is recommended, particularly for patients with prolapse and potential stress incontinence
