[Surgical treatment of urinary stress incontinence in women by J. Lorenz method--an alternative to TVT operation].

The article presents a modified technique of J. Lorenz operation for urinary stress incontinence in females with suspension of the urethra with threads (three threads are used instead of the band as in TVT operation). J. Lorenz operation is cost-effective, simple to perform, is not accompanied with severe complications, in failure of the initial operation reoperation is not a problem. The results of 55 operations are not inferior to outcomes of TVT operation. Low costand good long-term results of J. Lorenz operation make it an alternative of TVT operation.
