The follow-up of 28 patients with urinary incontinence treated with periurethral Teflon injection revealed significant improvement in 53.6% and complete cure in 21.4%. Patients most likely to benefit were those with weak sphincters and stable detrusors. The method is quick and safe and requires only a brief hospital stay. It is suitable for patients in whom conventional operative techniques have failed or in whom surgery is best avoided on medical grounds.
