[The treatment of stress incontinence by Burch's colposuspension]

By describing the stages of the colposuspensio according to Burch the authors emphasize the differences of this operation compared with the retro-pubic uteropexy a modo Marshal I-Marchetti-Krantz. Stress are the positive sides of the colposuspensio a modo Burch which make it a method of choice with the treatment of stress incontinentio in many countries and simultaneously special attention is paid to some of the stages of the operation which demand exact strictness. The colposuspensio a modo Burch guarantees high effective treatment (personal experience from 1989) that is why the authors propose this operation to be a method of choice concerning the treatment of stress incontinentio.
