title: Urinary incontinence: two cases of electronic stimulation after failing the Leadbetter technique.
abstract: Two cases of urinary incontinence treated by electrical stimulation after failing the Leadbetter technique are presented. Both were first seen bearing imperforated anus. They suffered several operations for correcting this pathology and further attempting to relieve complete urinary incontinence. After a trial with intrarectal stimulation one of them received an implant. The other continued to use the anal plug. In both cases the result has been satisfactory. Cine radiological documentation of the sphincteric action of the stimulated muscles was performed.
