[Results of the Burch colposuspension operation for female stress incontinence].
Of 48 patients with radiologically proven cystocele, 13 patients were treated with the Burch colposuspension procedure from October, 1980 to August, 1984 in our clinic. A satisfactory result with good urinary control was obtained in 13 cases and the procedure was a failure in one. Partial or complete urinary retention was evident postoperatively in 8 patients (62%), but all of the patients voided satisfactorily within 4 weeks. Radiological diagnosis of the cystocele and advantage of Burch colposuspension procedure are discussed.
