title: [Laparoscopic burch colposuspensio--our experience].
abstract: Stress incontinence is involuntary loss of urine that occurs during periods of increased intraabdominal pressure, such as sneezing, coughing or exercise. Retropubic Burch colposuspension has been considered by many to be the "gold standard" procedure for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence for almost 50 years. The firs reported retropubic surgery performed via the laparoscopic approach was described by Vancaillie and Schuessler in 1991. We present a clinical case of a female patient with stress incontinence who has been operated by laparoscopic approach by our team.
