โฆ Synopsis
Between December 1982 and January 1990, 73 patients with recurrent stress urinary incontinence were treated; 55 had a successful operation and 18 an unsuccessful one. 45 patients had a colposuspension and 28 had a silastic sling inserted. Success rates did not vary significantly whether patients had a colposuspension or a sling insertion. In the same study period 117 patients had primary treatment; 94 were cured, indicating no difference in outcome between the primary and secondary groups.
