title: [Stress urinary incontinence. Our results with the Burch's technique].
abstract: The aim of the surgical procedures utilized in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is to correct the posterior ureterovesical angle defect, thereby improving transmission of intraabdominal pressures to the urethra. We report our experience on 61 patients that had been diagnosed with SUI at our service from June 1984 to December 1990. Treatment was by the same operative procedure (Burch Technique) in all patients. The methods of exploration and the prognostic factors that might influence the outcome of the procedure are described. The short-term (3 months) success rate was 95%, the medium-term (1 year) 85.7% and the long-term (5 years) 77.1%. We underscore the convenience of prophylactic heparin therapy to prevent possible thromboembolic complications.
