Urinary incontinence: a challenge and a solution. III. Plication of muscles of deep perineal pouch.
A new operation, very simple to perform under local anesthesia, is described for urinary incontinence caused by operations on the prostate gland or the bladder neck; satisfactory results have been obtained, with no complications to date. The surgical procedure consists essentially of plication of the external urethral sphincter and other muscles in the deep perineal pouch thereby increasing their tone, which appears to assist the smooth muscle sphincter for urinary continence.
