Results in treating 88 cases of recurrent urinary stress incontinence with the Oxford fascia lata sling procedure.

Eighty-eight consecutive fascia lata sling procedures were performed for recurrent urinary stress incontinence. The cure rate was 88.6%. Ten patients were not cured (although six of these were improved) and three failures to cure were sling failures occurring in the first 25 cases. The other seven failures to cure were due to detrusor overactivity. The only significant complication was delayed successful voiding.
