title: Abdominoperineal urethral suspension: a report of 20 cases.
abstract: Twenty patients adjudged to require surgical management of genuine stress incontinence underwent the abdomino-perineal urethral suspension procedure between May, 1989 and February, 1990. Short-term subjective follow-up revealed a 94% cure and improved rate in 19 patients in whom the operation was completed. There was a striking absence of postoperative voiding morbidity. We believe this somewhat neglected procedure is worthy of further objective study and comparison with the more popular methods of surgical management of genuine stress incontinence.
