Experience with a simplified technique for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
Over a 9-year period a simple procedure for the correction of stress urinary incontinence was performed in 86 consecutive patients, 31 of whom had failed a previous anti-incontinence procedure. Success was achieved in 81 cases (94%). Of the 5 failures, 2 were successfully treated with a repeat procedure. Operative time ranged from 14 to 49 min (median 27). The average hospital stay was 2 days. Because of its simplicity and reliability, this technique is recommended for the surgical correction of female stress urinary incontinence.
