Results have been good to excellent in approximately 75 per cent of the cases. Injections have averaged less than 2 per person. Complications have been minimal and the procedure is well tolerated. Polytetrafluoroethylene injections do not contradict subsequent surgery should it become necessary. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research,
