Seven patients suffering from urinary incontinence after prostatectomy were treated by cervico-urethral plasty with a tubular vesical flap. Results were good or very good in four cases, and fairly good in one. There were two setbacks. The procedure should be reserved to patients not afflicted with vesical instability, cervico-urethral obstruction or fibrosis of the anterior surface of the bladder. Patients suffering from the last two conditions require an artificial sphincter after removal of the obstructive lesions.
