title: Ureteral blockage as a complication of Burch colposuspension: report of 6 cases.
abstract: Burch colposuspension for correction of urinary incontinence is rarely followed by complications. A very rarely described complication is ureteral kinking, which tends to occur in patients with previous pelvic surgeries. We present 6 additional cases of this rare complication and recommend appropriate intraoperative dissection as well as postoperative alert for early diagnosis, which improves prognosis.
