[Puigvert's operation in male urinary incontinence]

Puigvert's operation for male urinary incontinence was performed in 9 patients. In 8 cases the incontinence was secondary to prostate surgery. Results on continence were evaluated at follow-up during the immediate postoperative period and after 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months and two years. (Table: see text). Results indicate that this technique is simple and safe but unsatisfactory.
