[Laparoscopic-extraperitoneal colposuspension].
Female stress urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent disease with a broad range of surgical approaches with different percentages of success depending on the severity of the condition and the appropriateness of the technique in the indication. A few years ago, laparoscopy was introduced as another therapeutical possibility. The paper presents the Burch-like colposuspension through an extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach for the first time in our country, describing the technique and the preliminary results with a mean follow-up of over 6 months. Our preliminary results, as well as the more numerous from other authors seem to indicate that when a Burch-like colposuspension is indicated, extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach may be the ideal one once the learning curve for laparoscopic surgery is overcome.
