Popis: A modified Stamey operative technique was applied to 3 men with stress incontinence due to transurethral prostatectomy or transurethral resection of bladder neck. Two pieces of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts (Gore-Tex) were positioned at the membranous and bulbous urethra as sling loops, and hung up by nylon sutures that were brought to the abdominal wall along each side of the urethra by means of a modified Stamey needle and tied over the rectus fascia. Postoperatively, maximum urethral closure pressure and functional urethral length were increased, and urinary continence was achieved in all 3 patients, however, urinary retention developed in 1 patient with bladder arefrexia.
