Abstract | OBJECTIVE: PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1991 and 1995, 12 boys aged 3-7 years (mean 4.8) received an endoscopic submucosal injection with MPQ into the posterior urethra to correct urinary incontinence; the 12 boys were wet day and night. All patients had undergone a modified Cantwell epispadias repair before injection. The procedure was performed 24 times with a total volume of 83 mL of material injected into 59 sites in the posterior urethra (mean volume per injection 1.4 mL). The mean follow-up after injection was 10.8 months (range 3-22). RESULTS: Three patients became completely dry, the degree of incontinence was improved in six and there was no change in three. CONCLUSION: The preliminary results of this relatively non-invasive treatment are encouraging.
