Results in treating 88 cases of recurrent urinary stress incontinence with the Oxford fascia lata sling procedure. 1982

R P Beck, and A R Lai

Eighty-eight consecutive fascia lata sling procedures were performed for recurrent urinary stress incontinence. The cure rate was 88.6%. Ten patients were not cured (although six of these were improved) and three failures to cure were sling failures occurring in the first 25 cases. The other seven failures to cure were due to detrusor overactivity. The only significant complication was delayed successful voiding.

D000071938	Fasciotomy	Surgical incision on the FASCIA. It is used to decompress compartment pressure (e.g. in COMPARTMENT SYNDROMES; circumferential burns and extremity injuries) or to release contractures (e.g. in DUPUYTREN'S CONTRACTURE).	Fasciectomy
D014550	Urinary Incontinence, Stress	Involuntary discharge of URINE as a result of physical activities that increase abdominal pressure on the URINARY BLADDER without detrusor contraction or overdistended bladder. The subtypes are classified by the degree of leakage, descent and opening of the bladder neck and URETHRA without bladder contraction, and sphincter deficiency.
