title: Urinary stress incontinence and common sense.
abstract: Retropubic bladder neck suspension has been used to treat 352 women presenting with the primary complaint of urinary stress incontinence. The author's concept of the proper assessment and management of such patients, in whom previous surgical treatment has failed, is stated. A plea is made for the abandonment of traumatic surgical methods and the confusing multiplicity of names that accompanies them.
