OBJECTIVE: To investigate early postoperative complications of Burch colposuspension and the risk factors that may be associated with failure. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the chart records of all patients who underwent Burch colposuspension from October 1997 to September 2002. Indications for colposuspension included urodynamic stress incontinence with bladder neck hypermobility and adequate vaginal capacity. The occurrence of early postoperative complications related to the operation was documented. Subjective failure of the operation was defined as patient dissatisfaction and/or persistent urinary leakage. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used to determine the association among risk factors, early postoperative complications, and the failure rate of Burch colposuspension. RESULTS: A total of 258 patients (92.5%) reported satisfaction with the surgical outcome. The age, parity, menopausal status, use of hormone replacement therapy, previous hysterectomy, and occurrence of early postoperative complications did not significantly influence the failure rate. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that Burch colposuspension is an effective and, according to our patients, highly satisfactory procedure for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence.
