title: Ingelman-Sundberg operation for urinary incontinence. Our experience.
abstract: The authors analyse the indications for the Ingelman-Sundberg operation considering pelvic anatomy, previous surgery and the age of the patient. The operation is described with pre- and postoperative management. Associated operations, such as perineorraphy and the amputation of the uterine cervix are mentioned. Finally, a study is made of the experience of the Gynecologic Clinic of the Catholic Faculty of Medicine presenting the postoperative problems that have arisen and the results obtained in the cure of urinary incontinence. The surgical treatment of urinary incontinence due to lesions of the pelvic floor, presents several difficulties, with a high incidence of recurrence of symptoms.
