Final answer:

Vesicourethral suspension procedures like the RAZ and Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz are aimed at correcting stress urinary incontinence, not conditions like urethral or bladder tumors, prostate enlargement, or urethral stricture, which can cause post-renal proteinuria.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vesicourethral suspension procedures like the RAZ procedure and the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure are performed to correct stress urinary incontinence. These surgical techniques aim to provide support to the bladder neck and urethra, helping to maintain continence especially when there's an increase in abdominal pressure such as during coughing or sneezing. However, the question includes topics such as urethral tumors, urinary bladder tumors, enlargement of the prostrate gland, and stricture of urethra, which can cause post-renal proteinuria but are not directly related to the surgical procedures mentioned. These conditions do affect the urinary tract but involve different treatment approaches than those used for stress urinary incontinence.
