Reported in this paper is the authors' experience from 81 dura-sling operations in which human dura had been used. The procedures for dura collection and preservation are described in some detail. Treatment was rendered to 61 patients with primary incontinence and 20 patients with recurrent incontinence. The recurrence rate was 6.2 per cent, between one and five years from surgery.--Cases of severe stress incontinence were treated by dura-sling operation, preceded by careful presurgical diagnosis on the basis of both urethrocystotonometry and lateral urethrocystography. The method was found to be adequate.
