We assessed the long-term efficacy of a modified transvaginal needle bladder neck suspension, combined with vaginal hysterectomy, for the treatment of female stress incontinence. Thirty-two women who underwent this procedure were followed up clinically and urodynamically 1 and 5 years postoperatively. A total of 27 women (84.4%) were cured 1 year postoperatively. Of the 29 women who were followed up 5 years postoperatively, 21 (72.4%) had a satisfactory result (p = 0.157). No significant differences were observed in maximum urine flow rate, residual volume of urine, and functional length of the urethra. On the contrary, the maximum urethral closure pressure was significantly decreased (p = 0.004). Although the results of our study show a decline in success rate by time, the overall long-term efficacy of this technique is undoubtedly satisfactory. This technique is promising as an easy and minimally invasive surgical procedure for bladder neck suspension.
