Mitterberger M et al. (2007) Autologous myoblasts and fibroblasts for female stress incontinence: a 1-year follow-up in 123 patients. BJU Int 100: 1081–1085

In female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), resting tone and contractibility of the rhabdosphincter are reduced, leading to incomplete closure of the urethra.
