Stress urinary incontinence.
New techniques for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence are constantly being developed. In assessing treatment modalities, one must consider many variables including patient satisfaction and quality of life, cure or improvement rate, patient selection, and long-term durability of results. In 1998, many papers comparing and examining the outcomes of various new and old techniques were published.
