COLLAGEN INJECTIONS FOR URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE IN A SMALL URBAN UROLOGY PRACTICE: TIME TO FAILURE ANALYSIS OF 99 CASES

Abstract

Collagen injection has minimal morbidity and a low median success rate. Bladder instability, as determined by cystometrogram, is an important determinant of success. Survival statistics methods should be used more widely to describe urological outcomes because they provide dynamic and, thus, more meaningful information to urologists and patients than summary statistics.
