Burch colposuspension

Burch colposuspension is a surgical procedure used to treat stress urinary incontinence, a condition where individuals leak urine during activities like coughing or exercising. During the surgery, the surgeon lifts and supports the bladder using special stitches, fixing it to the ligaments in the pelvic area. This helps restore normal bladder function by preventing involuntary leakage. The procedure is usually performed under general or regional anesthesia and can be done through small incisions in the abdomen. Patients typically see improved bladder control and a return to daily activities with minimal downtime.
