Objective: In a randomized trial, we compared the success of Burch retropubic urethropexy to the modified anterior colporrhaphy for the treatment of genuine stress urinary incontinence.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with stress incontinence were randomly assigned to undergo Burch retropubic urethropexy or modified anterior colporrhaphy. Subjects had preoperative and 1-year postoperative physical examinations, multichannel urodynamic testing, 20-minute pad test, and subjective grading of incontinence severity with questionnaires. Data were evaluated using Fisher exact test, Wilcoxon two-sample test, logistic regression analysis, and analysis of variance.
Results: Objective cure 1 year postoperatively was significantly greater for the women treated by Burch retropubic urethropexy than by modified anterior colporrhaphy (16 of 18 [89%] versus five of 16 [31%], relative risk .15, 95% confidence interval .04, .59). Patients' subjective ratings of incontinence severity 1 year after surgical treatment were significantly lower in women who had Burch retropubic urethropexy.
Conclusion: Burch retropubic urethropexy yields a significantly superior objective cure for genuine stress urinary incontinence than the modified anterior colporrhaphy in a randomized trial.

Randomized Trial of Single-Incision Midurethral Sling and Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension: Postoperative Surgical Outcomes and Complications.
J Minim Invasive Gynecol
September 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ataturk University, Erzurum, Turkey (all authors).
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.
Defining success after surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Background: A consensus standardized definition of success after stress urinary incontinence surgical treatment is lacking, which precludes comparisons between studies and affects patient counseling.
Objective: This study aimed to identify optimal patient-centric definition(s) of success after stress urinary incontinence surgical treatment and to compare the identified "more accurate" treatment success definitions with a commonly used composite definition of success (ie, no reported urine leakage, negative cough stress test result, and no retreatment).
Study Design: We evaluated 51 distinct treatment success definitions for participants enrolled in a previously conducted randomized trial of stress urinary incontinence treatments concomitantly performed with sacrocolpopexy (NCT00934999).

Article Synopsis
- * A systematic literature review was conducted that included 37 trials with over 5700 patients. It found no significant difference in the objective success rates of the surgeries, but PVS showed higher subjective success rates.
- * The findings suggest that for synthetic sling options, TVT-RP and TVT-O are preferred, while PVS is the best choice for nonsynthetic slings due to its effectiveness and safety profile.
Predictors of Surgical Failure of Open Burch Colposuspension Versus Retropubic Midurethral Sling for Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Objective: To identify and compare long-term predictors for 'surgical failures' in matched groups of Midurethral sling (MUS) and Burch colposuspension (BC).
Methods: A secondary analysis of patients with urodynamic stress incontinence who were treated either by open BC or retropubic MUS. The study had a cohort of 1344 women with a ratio of 1:3 (BC: MUS).

Synthetic retropubic midurethral slings (RMUS) and robotic-assisted Burch urethropexies (RA-Burch) are common surgical treatment options for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Few data exist comparing the success of these two retropubic surgeries. This retrospective cohort study of RA-Burch and RMUS procedures compared the proportion of patients with subjective cure after RA-Burch compared to RMUS at our institution between 2016 and 2020.
