[Surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence].
Through modern surgical procedures, a reconstruction approaching the physiological anatomical conditions can be achieved. According to the integral theory, the typical symptoms are assigned to an anterior, middle and posterior zone of damage. Surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence consists of refixation of the slackened supporting ligaments of the vagina, bladder and urethra. Furthermore, the slackening of the vaginal wall, which arose from the defects of the pelvic floor are corrected. With the aid of minimally invasive interventions usually using the vaginal approach, tapes and meshes are introduced that are also used to repair hernias.
