Six patients, average age 80 years, with no previous operations, presented with urinary incontinence. The predominant symptoms were “being wet all the time” and “sudden uncontrolled urine loss”. They had no symptoms of urgency or stress incontinence, and no objective evidence of “detrusor instability” or urine loss on cough stress pad testing. All but one patients were cured by the simultaneous combined Intravaginal Sling and Tuck operation, indicating that the primary cause of the symptoms was an anatomical defect in the vagina and the ligamentous supports in the region of the bladder neck, as stated in the Integral Theory of Urinary Incontinence, this supplement, elderly.
