Summary
Four hundred and eleven women with urinary incontinence were studied and treated over a 12-year period. The surgical procedures undertaken included 45 colporrahies with Kelly stitches, 12 interposition operations, 49 fascial slings, 49 Zoedler slings using Mersilene, 66 slings using dura, 136 retropubic colpourethrocystopexies, and 54 other operations. Retropubic operations, such as colpourethrocystopexy, should be considered the primary operation for stress incontinence, for if correctly executed, they give the best long-term cure rate (97%).
