[Surgical indications in female urinary incontinence].

In addition to artificial urinary sphincters, the surgical management of female urinary incontinence includes many surgical procedures of the bladder neck: its retropubic placement within the confines of abdominal pressure, posterior support preventing effort opening or the reduction of its diameter. Whatever the surgical procedure, surgical indications depend on discomfort and patient desire after complete assessment to evaluate risk of failure and postoperative complications. Choice of a technique depends on the surgeon's individual preference; success rate varies from 50 to 80% after 5 years follow-up.
