Abstract
Twenty male and 7 female patients with total urinary incontinence of variable etiology were treated by construction of 4 different forms of the anterior bladder flap tube. The Tanagho procedure was used in 10 patients and 3 variants of the operation were fashioned to correct the particular defects present in the remaining 17. The high success rate of 85% is due largely to the selection of the proper form of the tube for each case of urinary incontinence.
