Burch colposuspension has been the procedure of choice for stress urinary incontinence, more recently the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) has been used. A retrospective study on all TVT's and colposupensions was performed. The present clinical condition was assessed using the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Short-Form 12 questionnaires. The median operating time was 50-59 minutes for TVT and 70-79 minutes for colposupension. The median number of day's hospitalization was 3 and 10 respectively. The overall success rate was 88.5% and 92% respectively. No significant difference in subjective outcome was noted at more than 5 years after surgery between the two procedures for either the BFLUTS or SF-12.
