Abstract
Objectives:
To assess the effectiveness of laparoscopic colposuspension after previously failed anti-incontinence surgery.
Methods:
Retrospective review of 10 cases, all with urodynamically proven grade 2 genuine stress incontinence.
Results:
All patients were subjectively cured at 3 months or more follow-up. The mean hospital stay was 2.9 days, the mean time until normal voiding was 1.7 days, and the mean blood loss was 39 ml.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic colposuspension may be useful after failed anti-incontinence surgery. However, larger numbers are needed with objective longer term follow-up.
