Abstract:
Surgery for stress incontinence is selected according to specific problems in each patient. Patients with ISD can be identified and selected for sling surgery or collagen injection therapy. Other patients may be managed successfully by retropubic urethropexy, either open or laparoscopic. Diagnostic evaluation should be thoughtful and extensive, with good correlation of findings and presenting symptoms to apply therapy in a specific manner to each patient.
