The long-term results of Burch colposuspension for stress urinary incontinence were evaluated in 153 women operated on in 1984-1990. At follow-up 2 months postoperatively, 88% of the women reported continence, 5% were almost continent and the failure rate was 7%. At 24 months the corresponding figures were 86.7 and 7% and 39-102 months (mean 5 years) postoperatively they were 78, 11 and 11%. There were few complications. Follow-up urodynamic investigations showed significant rise of the pressure transmission from bladder to urethra in the cured patients. Reasons for failure are discussed. For patients with low urethral closure pressure, a vaginal sling procedure is preferable to Burch operation. Burch colposuspension is safe and advisable for patients with genuine stress incontinence. Urodynamic evaluation thus should be made preoperatively, but need not to be repeated if the clinical result is good.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem affecting the quality of life of women.
Materials And Methods: It is a prospective study conducted over 40 women of SUI by endovaginal ultrasound on rest and Valsalva preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively for levator hiatus (LH), pubovisceral thickness, urethral length, and bladder neck (BN) position. A 24 h pad test was also performed on all women at the same time for grading of SUI.

Study Objective: Various retropubic and midurethral sling techniques have shown high cure rates in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This study aimed to compare single-incision midurethral sling (SIMS) and laparoscopic Burch colposuspension (LBC) procedures in patients with SUI in terms of the effectiveness, patient satisfaction, surgical complications and results.
Design: This is a prospective randomized study.

The bladder neck area of the vagina is known as the "zone of critical elasticity" (ZCE). Adequate vaginal elasticity at ZCE is required for the oppositely-acting muscles to independently close the distal urethra and bladder neck. Scarring at ZCE "tethers" the more powerful posterior muscles to the anterior muscles and the bladder neck is forcibly pulled open, resulting in massive urine loss.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary incontinence, particularly stress urinary incontinence (SUI), is a common issue in primary care that can greatly impact a patient's daily life and requires effective assessment and management by healthcare providers.
- The diagnosis of SUI is typically based on the patient's medical history and specific physical exams, with pelvic floor physiotherapy and lifestyle changes as primary treatment options.
- For more severe cases, surgical solutions like urethral bulking agents and different types of slings are available, with synthetic mid-urethral slings remaining a popular choice for treating SUI in women.
