The present study provides evidence that a simplified Burch type colposuspension provides a satisfactory cure rate on long-term follow-up and is associated with earlier resumption of normal voiding. Transurethral drainage remains a simple and effective method of bladder management after colposuspension. The present study also confirms that many patients do need further pelvic floor surgery for later development of deficiencies in the pelvic floor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
