Abstract Forty-six patients with both genuine stress incontinence (GSI) and detrusor instability (DI), as determined by urodynamic evaluation, were treated with medication or surgery and followed for 6 months. It was found that 60% responded favorably to medical therapy with imipramine hydrochloride, oxybutynin chloride, or dicyclomine hydrochloride. Surgery for stress incontinence was performed in 24 patients, including 17 started initially on medication. Surgical cure was achieved in 38% of these 24 patients, and a further 29% of the surgical group were cured with additional drug therapy. Overall, 85% of patients responded favorably to medication and/or surgery. Patients with combined GSI and DI require detailed urodynamics and may be candidates for surgery, in spite of the coexistent DI.
