A modified Raz bladder neck suspension operation (transvaginal Burch)

I Gilja et al. J Urol. 1995 May.

Abstract

A total of 36 female patients with genuine stress urinary incontinence underwent Raz needle suspension with fixation of suspension sutures to the iliopectineal ligament (transvaginal Burch procedure). By fixing suspension sutures to the iliopectineal ligament we expected to achieve a static suspension independent of everyday patient activities. Considering the small number of patients and limited followup, our results revealed continence in 80 to 85% of the patients after 3 years. We believe that fixation of suspension sutures to the iliopectineal ligament can favorably influence long-term results of needle suspension in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
