Summary
Surgical management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) showed the Burch procedure had higher efficacy (84.1%) than vaginal surgery (62.1%). Pelvic floor relaxation was a common associated condition.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gynecology
Background:
- Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects numerous women, often necessitating surgical intervention.
- Pelvic floor relaxation is frequently associated with SUI, complicating treatment.
- Surgical options include retropubic and vaginal approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the efficacy and complications of retropubic surgery (Burch procedure) versus vaginal approach for SUI.
- To identify risk factors associated with SUI.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study of 98 patients with SUI treated surgically.
- Patients were divided into two groups: vaginal approach (35 patients) and retropubic surgery (63 patients).
- Analysis of risk factors including age, weight, height, parity, and menopausal age.
Main Results:
- No significant differences were found between groups regarding age, weight, height, parity, and menopausal age.
- The Burch procedure group demonstrated a higher success rate (84.1%) compared to the vaginal approach group (62.1%).
- Complication rates were 17.1% for the Burch procedure and 33.3% for the vaginal approach.
Conclusions:
- The Burch procedure is a more effective surgical option for stress urinary incontinence compared to the vaginal approach.
- Surgical intervention for SUI should consider the potential benefits of the Burch procedure in terms of efficacy and complication rates.
