[Submucous urethral augmentation in stress incontinence. Indications and results]

An endoscopic transurethral collagen implantation was performed in 45 women, suffering from mostly recurrent stress incontinence. No complications have been observed. The results were measured by a standardized PAD weight test. After 6 months, 17 women were cured and 21 were improved; after 12 months, 14 patients were still completely dry and 21 were improved (nearly 80% success rate). Using silicone particles in a lubricating carrier gel (Macroplast), even better and persisting results are expected.
