Reduce Voiding Dysfunction After Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension by Using Lateral Tension for the Anterior Vaginal Wall Before Cooper's Ligament Suspension in Stress Incontinence Women. (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial).
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Traditional Burch colposuspension and Modified Burch colposuspension for Stress Urinary Incontinence. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The progress in surgical procedures for treating female stress urinary incontinence has led to the development of tension-free techniques such as the trans-obturator tape (TOT). Nonetheless, concerns regarding complications associated with the use of artificial mesh have sparked renewed interest in traditional retropubic suspension techniques (Burch). This study introduces a modified technique that creates lateral tension for the anterior vaginal wall before the conventional suspending to the Cooper ligament, limiting the tension on the urethra and reducing the risk of postoperative urinary voiding dysfunction with the same success rates. This technique offers the advantages of a tension-free procedure while still providing the benefits of retropubic suspension. Moreover, this modified technique eliminates the need for artificial mesh, reducing the risk of associated complications. This promising alternative offers effective support for the urethra and reduces postoperative emptying disorders. However, further research and studies are necessary to validate the long-term efficacy and safety of this modified technique.
