Fascia lata paraurethrovesical suspension for the correction of stress urinary incontinence in the woman

Fascia lata paraurethrovesical suspension for the correction of stress urinary incontinence in the female was used 68 times in 66 women. There was an 80 percent overall cure rate (74 percent if allowances are made for potential late failure). This cure rate is not considered good enough to recommend the operation as a primary procedure. The simplicity of the operation and the 75 percent cure rate in failed previous Marshall-Marchetti-Kranz-type procedures commend it as a secondary procedure. Improvement in the cure rate is expected with more experience and refinement of technique.
