[Cystometry in recurrent urinary stress incontinence]

To establish the incidence of surgical failure and misdiagnosis, we reviewed the post-surgical cystometries and clinical data of 33 patients with recurrent stress urinary incontinence following surgical management of this condition. The results of the study show that 63.6% were due to failure of the surgical technique. However, recurrence after a second procedure is likely due to bladder instability. The literature is reviewed and the data compared.
