[Endoscopic teflon injection in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence]

Fifty six women with urinary stress incontinence were treated with transurethral teflon injections. Forty eight (86 per cent) were completely cured, or showed considerable improvement. No abscesses or other complications were noted, and hospitalization was reduced to two or three days. The procedure is easy to perform and does not preclude subsequent surgery, if required. It is particularly suitable for obese or debilitated patients, or patients who have previously undergone surgery without success.
