[Endoscopic autotransplantation of fat tissue in the treatment of urinary incontinence in the female].

Urinary incontinence in women is a frequently encountered condition. We present an endoscopic technique for correction of this disorder, which may be used to treat vesico-ureteral reflux and also post-prostatectomy incontinence in men. The procedure, carried out under epidural anesthesia, consists of implanting cylinders of fatty tissue removed by liposuction from subcutaneous tissue, in the bladder neck using an endoscopic injection needle. Our series presently includes 12 patients suffering from incontinence without cystocele, followed up on average for 6 months. Although it is too early to make conclusions, the results are quite promising in terms of subsequent prognosis.
