The Aldridge sling procedure in the treatment of urinary stress incontinence.
The long-term results of the Aldridge sling procedure for the treatment of recurrent urinary stress incontinence was assessed in 50 women most of whom had had previous failed vaginal surgery; 78% of patients were cured of all symptoms and a further 20% were symptomatically improved--a 2% failure rate. Only one patient reverted from a cure to improved during the lengthy follow-up. The procedure is not difficult to perform and is a good surgical option in patients with failed vaginal surgery.
