Burch colposuspension: a 10 to 12 years follow up.
Burch colposuspension is considered to be the gold standard for the surgical treatment of genuine stress incontinence in women. Short-term cure rates are as high as 90%. (Jarvis, 1994). The long-term (10 or more years) cure rate of 62% in this study confirms the time dependent decline in efficacy.
