Abstract
The purpose of transurethral teflon injection to cure urinary stress incontinence in women is to increase the urethral resistance to urine outflow. Although Gersuny injected glycerine around the perineal urethra to treat incontinent males it was Politano [1] who proposed teflon to treat incontinence in men after transurethral resection of the prostate and extended the technique to treat women patients. Heer [2] injected teflon into the wall of the urethra to increase its length and resistance but the technique of transurethral and periurethral injection of teflon paste was really developed in Western Europe by Sparwasser and Lampante [3,4] in 1978 with the fabrication of specialised instrumentation by Wolf-Knittlingen and Storz-Tuttlingen. Marketing by these manufacturers certainly diffused this new technique to most urological departments but was also responsable for a subjective overevaluation!
