Summary— Medium‐term results are reported in 100 patients who had a Stamey operation for genuine stress incontinence. The results were good in 72, improved in 8 and 20 were failures when assessed clinically and with pad tests. Most of the failures occurred in the first post‐operative year. A repeat Stamey operation was easy and the results have been good in 7 of the 8 cases. Bladder outflow obstruction, urinary infection and wound sepsis were not a problem.
