[Modification of the use of a magnetic device for urethral occlusion in recurrent incontinence].

The magnetic closure device consists of a bow-shaped retropubically implanted magnet. Another removable magnet is situated in the vagina, thus gently closing the urethra. The modification described herein consists of colposuspension over the upper edge of the implanted magnet. Continence was thus achieved. The use of the intravaginal magnet was not necessary. The case report deals with the first two patients.
