Abstract: | Our objective was to describe our experience with laparoscopic Burch colposuspension and to relate our results to traditional open Burch procedures for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence. Retrospective case series were compared to historical controls. Forty-six women found to have only genuine stress incontinence by history, examination and clinical urodynamics, underwent a mesh and staple laparoscopic Burch procedure. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 50 months. Thirty-seven women were dry, 6 were improved and 3 showed no improvement. This compared to between 75% and 90% of women cured of stress incontinence by the traditional open Burch procedure. We concluded that the results of a mesh and staple laparoscopic Burch procedure in a carefully selected population of women with genuine stress incontinence appears comparable to that reported in the literature for an open Burch procedure. |
