The development of pelvic organ prolapse following isolated Burch retropubic urethropexy.
The purpose of our study was to examine the incidence of prolapse in a group of women who had had an isolated Tanagho modification of the Burch colposuspension performed without significant pelvic organ prolapse preoperatively. Sixty women were identified who underwent an isolated Burch procedure for genuine stress incontinence between 1991 and 1999. Thirty-four women returned for postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) staging evaluation. Overall, 6 (17.6%) had stage II anterior prolapse. Eleven (32.4%) had stage II posterior prolapse. Three (8.8%) had stage II uterine prolapse. None of these patients with identified support defects was symptomatic. Two patients had subsequently undergone vaginal hysterectomy. One had this performed for dysfunctional uterine bleeding 3 years after her Burch procedure. One patient developed symptomatic uterine prolapse and underwent a vaginal hysterectomy 5 months after her Burch procedure. The majority of patients undergoing an isolated Tanagho modification Burch procedure without preoperative prolapse do not appear to be placed at increased risk for subsequent operative intervention.
