Laparoscopy or open Burch colposuspension?
The laparotomy Burch has long been considered the gold standard for the repair of genuine stress incontinence. With the advent of laparoscopic Burch, many have argued that possibly this should be the new gold standard. However, when many laparoscopic bladder series were examined, there was some question of whether these should be considered Burch procedures and there is still a lack of long-term laparoscopic data.
