[Value of teflon in recurrent stress incontinence in elderly women with urodynamic control]

Since 1981, 12 cases of stress incontinence in elderly, multi-operated women have been treated by one or several endoscopic injections of teflon. The definitive results, with a mean follow-up of 28 months, were as follows: 58% cures, 25% improvements and 16% failures. The urodynamic survey and cysto-urethrography revealed: unchanged urethral compliance, increased urethral tone and urethral length, improved abdomino-urethral transmission, increased bladder capacity, reduction in the posterior vesico-urethral angle and lifting of the bladder neck.
