Stress urinary incontinence can have a number of causes. It is important that patients confer with their physicians to rule out medication-related, psychological, and/or behavioral sources of incontinence as well as physical and neurological causes....
This involves complete medical history, as well as medication, clinical, neurological, and radiographic evaluations. Once these are completed, urodynamic tests that evaluate the urethra, bladder, flow, urine retention, and leakage, are performed and allow the physician to determine the primary source of the stress incontinence. Patients who are obese and/or engage in high-impact exercise are not good candidates for this surgery. Patients with ISD may not be cured with this procedure, since it is primarily intended to treat the hypermobile urethra.

Needle bladder neck suspension, also known as needle suspension, or paravaginal surgery, is performed to support the hypermobile, or moveable urethra using sutures to attach it to tissues covering the pelvic floor. Of the three popular surgical procedures for urethral instability and its results in urinary stress incontinence, needle bladder neck suspension is the quickest and easiest to perform. It has many variants, such as the Raz, Stamey, modified Pereyra, or Gattes procedures, but its long-term results are less impressive than other, more extensive, anti-incontinent surgeries.
