Abstract

Seventy-nine patients of bladder neck suspension using an extraperitoneal variation of laparoscopic surgery were performed for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Using a balloon dissector the anterior vesical pelvic space is secured. The bladder neck suspension similar to the Burch operation was performed through a laparoscopic procedure. Symptoms of patients were assessed preoperatively and at one and six months following surgery. Operative times and complications were also evaluated. Success rate was 89.8% at six months. Complications such as bladder perforations were observed. Laparoscopic extraperitoneal bladder neck suspension-(LEBNS) is a viable option to the conventional methods of suspension, it has definite cosmetic advantages, is devoid of intraperitoneal dissection and adhesion, and has a comparable success rate.
