title: [Results of a modified Stamey technique in the management of female urinary stress incontinence].
abstract: A modified Stamey technique was applied to nineteen women to control their stress incontinence. Needle puncture was reduced to one time for each side of the urethra by placing the Dacron sleeve parallel to the urethra. Postoperatively, the urethrovesical angle was reduced to be within normal limit, and functional urethral length and maximum urethral closure pressure increased significantly. All patients receiving the modified operation restored urinary continence without any significant complications.
