Abstract

The results achieved with perineal electrical stimulation in 25 patients with stress urinary incontinence of different etiology are presented herein. Overall, positive results were achieved in 52% and 28% were nonresponders. The results were positive in 66% with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Before recurring to other more complicated therapeutic procedures, this treatment modality could be an alternative in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
