Postprostatectomy incontinence: George Washington University technique

The original concept of external compression on the urethra to provide urinary continence in the male has undergone significant modifications since the original work of Berry fifteen years ago. The technique used at George Washington University is a successful extension of Berry's concept. This article presents a very precise description of the operation. There has been only one failure in 13 patients referred to us, therefore the technique is recommended as an excellent means of correcting postprostatectomy incontinence.
