TL;DR: Postoperative genital prolapse is a significant complication of the Burch colposuspension, and it is unclear whether this is due to a disruption of the vaginal axis or to an intrinsic weakness of the pelvic floor in these women.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficacy of perineal ultrasonography in the assessment of vaginal prolapse and found that it may improve understanding of why some women develop posterior vaginal wall prolapse after colposuspension and, conversely, why women develop incontinence following anterior repair for prolapse.

TL;DR: There was a higher incidence of obesity in premenopausal nulliparous patients compared with the parous patients and there were no differences in the other factors causing raised intra-abdominal pressure between the two groups.
Abstract: SummaryThe causes of stress urinary incontinence due to urethral sphincter incompetence, other than parity, were studied in a group of 26 nulliparous women undergoing colposuspension, and compared with a group of age-matched parous women also undergoing colposuspension. Pre-and postoperative clinical and urodynamic assessment was performed. Of the paired groups, 10 were premenopausal and 16 postmenopausal. There was a higher incidence of obesity in premenopausal nulliparous patients compared with the parous patients. There were no differences in the other factors causing raised intra-abdominal pressure, such as chronic cough and constipation, between the two groups. These factors are usually thought to contribute to the aetiology of stress incontinence.
