The tuck procedure: a simplified vaginal repair for treatment of female urinary incontinence.
A minor operative procedure involving the excision of bilateral small elliptical 1 x 0.5 cm pieces of vaginal mucosa is described as a proposed alternative to a Kelly Repair. Twelve month success rate was 47%. The modus operandi of the procedure is examined with reference to the Integral Theory of Female Urinary Incontinence, as are the possible reasons for the operative failure.
