Comparative Analysis of Bladder Neck Suspension Using Raz, Burch and Transvaginal Burch Procedures

Surgery for Stress Incontinence: A Non–Randomised Trial of Colposuspension, Needle Suspension and Anterior Colporrhaphy

“…Only 26% of women were completely dry, though a further 18% were incontinent no more than once a month. These figures compare with rates of 80–95% reported previously [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. The principal reason for such a discrepancy is thought to be because our data were collected directly from the patients 1 year after surgery.…”

“…In addition, the external validity (generalisability) of the results is uncertain as studies have mostly been conducted in specialist centres so that it is impossible to know whether or not their findings can be generalised to surgery in more typical settings [7]. Six additional randomised trials [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]and 3 non–randomised studies [14, 15, 16]have been reported since 1995.…”

Open retropubic colposuspension for urinary incontinence in women: A short version cochrane review

“…Seven trials17,18,[41][42][43][44][45] compared open retropubic colposuspension with needle suspension procedures, with a total population of 570 women, of whom 278 underwent colposuspension.Women's Observations. Fewer women were incontinent after colposuspension compared to those undergoing needle suspension, with the difference in failure rates increasing over time: in the first year after surgery, 11% versus 15%, However, there was heterogeneity in the results between trials.…”

Tansvaginal Needle Suspension Operation: The Way We Do It

“…Although Bergman et al [21]and Bergman and Elia [] ]showed that abdominal colposuspension provided more sustained relief of incontinence than anterior colporrhaphy or vaginal needle suspension, Gilja et al [23]could not find any significant difference between the transvaginal needle suspension and the retropubic urethropexy in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.…”
