Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to weak supporting structures of the proximal urethra is treated by surgical methods. Different studies have proved colpocystourethropexy to be one of the most efficient surgical treatment of SUI. This original method has witnessed numerous modifications worldwide, and recently laparoscopic colpocystourethropexy has been ever more frequently used. The efficiency of the classical surgical treatment has long been known, but the long-term efficient outcome of the laparoscopically performed procedure is still unknown. To evaluate the efficiency of laparoscopic colpocystourethropexy, 28 patients with SUI, enrolled in the study, were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group of 20 patients the classical procedure was performed and in the second group of 8 patients laparoscopic approach was applied. Three months after surgery all the patients underwent clinical examination, and the final exam will be carried out 24 months following surgery. On this occasion urodynamic and ultrasound measurements of the mobility of the urinary bladder will be performed again. The evaluation of the measured parameters will be done using appropriate statistical methods. The final assessment of the appropriateness of laparoscopic colpocystourethropexy will be provided after having considered additional parameters, i.e. the cost of the procedure and clinical postoperative course.
