title: Laparoscopic colposuspension in women with previously failed anti-incontinence surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the effectiveness of laparoscopic colposuspension after previously failed anti-incontinence surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective review of 10 cases, all with urodynamically proven grade 2 genuine stress incontinence.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients were subjectively cured at 3 months or more follow-up. The mean hospital stay was 2.9 days, the mean time until normal voiding was 1.7 days, and the mean blood loss was 39 ml.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic colposuspension may be useful after failed anti-incontinence surgery. However, larger numbers are needed with objective longer term follow-up.
