Ten patients had massive haemorrhage and 8 of them had a blood transfusion. Three patients had a haematoma. Bladder injuries were noticed in 10 patients, 3 of whom were diagnosed postoperatively. One patient had unilateral ureteral kinking. Urinary retention occurred in 20 patients for more than 10 days and 2 required catheterization for 26 and 32 days respectively. Eighteen patients had a wound infection and 4 had a wound abscess. Twenty nine patients had a urinary infection. Urinary tract injury, haemorrhage and blood transfusion were significantly more common in women having secondary surgery than those having primary surgery. Deep venous thrombosis was diagnosed in 3 patients who had a Burch colposuspension with concomitant abdominal hysterectomy. Knowledge of possible risks and complications of Burch colposuspension may help plan a better preoperative work-up of patients and may minimize the intraoperative complications and increase surgical success and patient satisfaction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess360Perioperative ComplicationsBurch ColposuspensionArticle10.1111/j.1479-828X.1999.tb03136.x39447247510687767WOS:000084091900016Q3
