Summary The technique, complications and results of an anterior detrusor tube repair for urinary incontinence in children is described. It appears that this procedure is appropriate only for selected cases of urinary incontinence but that it is an operation which should be within the paediatric urologist's repertoire. It is simple to perform, but care should be taken, by omental packing, to prevent a sharp posterior lip to the newly formed bladder neck.
