title: Laparoscopic procedures for stress incontinence and prolapse.
abstract: Laparoscopic treatment of urinary stress incontinence and urogenital prolapse is a recent development. We describe the progress of the ideas and techniques, in this field. However, the literature lacks prospective randomized studies with sufficient follow up. So there is a need for these techniques, which seem attractive at first glance, to be fully assessed before they can be adopted as standard practice.
