    Author: de Gregorio G, Emmerich D, Hillemanns HG, Pfleiderer A.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1994 Jul; 54(7):387-9. PubMed ID: 7926568.
    Abstract:
    The pubococcygeus patch procedure is introduced as a vaginal method for treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence of the female in combination with a marked descensus requiring vaginal surgery. It is based on physiological conceptions of urethral closure mechanisms. The primary success rate in 47 women with severe stress-urinary incontinence was 85% after 3-6 months, and 60% in women with hypotonic urethra (< 30 cm H2O). The complication rate was low. The material used for the patch was lyodura (n = 43) and gore-tex (n = 4), the latter showing a 50% repulsion rate.
