Abstract:
Results of the abdominal levator-muscle repair in 175 stress incontinent women are presented. Two years after the operation 83% were cured or improved regarding urinary incontinence. The urodynamic evaluation revealed a normalization of the maximum flow rate, residual urine and cystometry in nearly all cases. The abdominal levator-muscle repair carried a low morbidity, and is especially recommended in women with combined urinary and anal incontinence.
