Incontinenza urinaria nella donna: Inquadramento clinico e nostra esperienza nella terapia chirurgica: Urinary incontinence in women: Clinical classification and personal experience in surgical treatment
After having outlined the clinical classification and physiopathology of urinary incontinence (IU), the authors present their cases which include 225 operations using Burch's colposuspension technique. Patients with 1st grade or no cystocele, slight relaxation of the pelvic floor and no sign of bladder instability were selected for this procedure. The technique is described. Lastly the authors confirm the effectiveness of the method, given the good results and total absence of risks and complications.
