title: Colposuspension for the treatment of female urinary incontinence.
abstract: Between June 1, 1983 and June 30, 1988, 174 patients with stress incontinence were treated with a colposuspension operation; 144 patients were cured, 30 remained wet. Sixteen patients who remained wet had detrusor instability; 9 of these were cured by anticholinergic medications. Of 25 patients who had dual pathology 19 were cured. Seventy nine patients had urinary tract infections. Two patients had ureteric obstruction due to kinking; it is postulated that this can be an infrequent and sometimes unavoidable complication.
