R Lenzi, and G Barbagli, and N Stomaci, and C Selli, and A Delle Rose

A new technique for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence is described. It consists of colposuspension obtained by suprapubic placement of two double monofilament sutures in a spiral fashion on the lateral vaginal walls, which are fixed proximally to a Cooper's ligament and tied distally one to the other over the rectus fascia. This technique has been successfully employed in a preliminary series of 26 patients and it appears to be easy to perform and with a wide application range.
