CARE: A Randomized Trial of Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Efforts
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Burch urethropexy at time of sacrocolpopexy for Urinary Incontinence, Stress and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 322 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles holding pelvic organs (e.g., the uterus or bladder) weaken and the organs fall or slide down into the vagina. Pelvic organ prolapse can be corrected with surgery. However, women who have this surgery may develop urinary incontinence. This study will determine how doctors can predict this problem and whether an additional surgical procedure at the time of prolapse surgery can prevent the development of urinary incontinence.

Interventions
The Burch colposuspension procedure entails the retropubic placement of at least two stitches in the vaginal tissue lateral to each side of the urethra, and suspension of these stitches from Cooper's ligament (the iliopectineal line at the superior aspect of the posterior pubic bone).
