Abstract
Only a few surgical treatments are available for male urinary stress incont inence and artificial urinary sphincter remains the reference treatment. It is associated with a certain morbidity and specific technical limitations and can therefore not always be used in a given patient. Stimulated gracilo plasty could constitute a useful alternative treatment in exceptional situa tions. The objective of this study was to review the technique, the indicat ions already defined apart from urinary incontinence and the results of sti mulated graciloplasty in urology.
