title: [Periurethral injections of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence: description of the technique and bibliographic review].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The system enables a non endoscopic, outpatient treatment of the female stress urinary incontinence. The article intends to familiarize the readers with the procedure.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the technique, graphically, with all steps, and perform a bibliographic review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In accordance to the main clinical studies reviewed, the periurethral injection of dextranomer/ hyaluronic acid copolymer has an efficacy of near 75%, with a simple, reproducible technique with rare adverse events.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The treatment with this type of periurethral injections may be valid as a minimally invasive treatment of the female stress urinary incontinence, because of its efficacy, tolerability and reproducibility.
