Results of the abdominal levator-muscle repair in 175 stress incontinent women are presented. Two years after the operation 83% were cured or improved regarding urinary incontinence. The urodynamic evaluation revealed a normalization of the maximum flow rate, residual urine and cystometry in nearly all cases. The abdominal levator-muscle repair carried a low morbidity, and is especially recommended in women with combined urinary and anal incontinence.

Aim: Extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPR) is challenging 'conventional' abdominoperineal excision (APR), yet the safety and efficacy of ELAPR is still under debate. We therefore developed a laparoscopic APR with trans-abdominal individualized levator transection (LAPR-TILT) approach and compared the outcome with a conventional laparoscopic APR (CLAPR).

Method: All eligible patients were entered a single-centre randomized controlled trial to compare CLAPR and LAPR-TILT.
