Burch bladder neck colposuspension, comparison of early and late results.
PURPOSE: Suprapubic or endoscopic Burch colposuspension is a preferred technique for the treatment of stress urinaly incontinence in selective cases. We have attempted to investigate the early and long term results of suprapubic surgery for the treatment of stress incontinence and cystocele.
PATIENTS AND METHOD: 98 patients with grade 1-2 stress urinary incontinence and grade 1-2 cystocele were included in this study. Preoperative testing include the Boney test, pad test, cystography, cystometry, leak point pressure, and urethral pressure profile studies.
RESULTS: Our success rate was 93% three months after surgery for stress incontinence, 81% after twelve months (range 11 to 14) and 67% after 48 months (range 44-55). Grade 1 cystocele was corrected with a 76% success rate and Grade 2 cystocele was corrected with a 70% success rate 3 months after surgery. Twelve months later, these rates were 68% and 56% respectively. At the time of the last control these rates were 59% and 37% for cystocele, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Burch colposuspension is an effective method for the treatment of Grade 1-2 stress incontinence and grade 1 cystocele in the early and late control examinations, but is not effective in patients with grade 2 cystocele in the long-term follow up examinations.
