Abstract

The treatment of intrinsic urethral weakness (type III stress urinary incontinence) has traditionally been accomplished by the performance of a sling cystourethropexy, the placement of an artificial urinary sphincter, or periurethral injection. Herein we describe our experience using laparoscopy to perform a sling cystourethropexy.
