title: [The "hazards" of using a Gore-Tex sling in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the use of the Gore-Tex in the treatment of exertion incontinence.
  
  
  METHODS
  During 1991, two gynecology units used the Mouchel technique and a Goebell-Stoeckel type technique in 72 patients with exertion incontinence, alone in 36 and in combination with a cure for prolapsus in 36 others. Results were analyzed with the chi 2 squared test and the Student's test for paired series.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rate of incontinence was 65% with a range from 60 to 66.7% according to the type of technique used and whether a cure for prolapsus was also performed. Gore-Tex was not well tolerated in 23/72 cases. Rejection was seen in 20 to 37.5% according to the type of vaginal suture and the type of protection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The high rate of rejection suggests prudence in using Gore-Tex.
