SUMMARY1 A method of deviating urine from the female perineum by anterior transposition of the urethra has been described. 2 The difficulties encountered in this procedure have been discussed. 3 Though anterior transposition was devised originally for neurogenic incontinence of urine in women, it may well be employed in other cases of urinary incontinence.
