title: A simplified surgical technique for the therapy of stress incontinence.
abstract: After a review of the literature on stress incontinence the importance of selecting the appropriate surgical procedure is emphasized. The long-term results of a modified and simplified method of retropubic urethropexy which has been used by the authors for 5 years are presented. The technique has been found equal in efficiency to other, more complicated, surgical methods.
