Summary— Eighteen patients with intractable detrusor instability were treated by endoscopic bladder transection. In two patients there was complete symptomatic relief. Two more were rendered continent but continued to complain of urgency and nocturia. The remaining 14 patients were not improved by the procedure. These results have caused us to abandon this operation as a treatment for detrusor instability.
