Abstract
There is incredible diversity in the number of procedures that have been developed for the treatment of stress incontinence in women. This fact alone tells us that there is no perfect operation which is suitable for all patients and which has no risk of recurrence of symptoms. Most of the procedures for stress incontinence can be grouped under the headings of anterior repairs, needle suspensions, retropubic urethropexies and slings. Within each of these groups there are variations in technique between centers and individual surgeons. These standard procedures are discussed in the appropriate chapters of this text. This chapter will discuss examples of other surgical procedures that cannot be included in the previously mentioned groups and fall under a classification which includes significant modifications of the anterior repair and nonanchored slings.
