Introduction: There is still no consensus on which surgical technique is the most effective for female recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery.

Aim: To compare the long-term treatment outcomes of Burch colposuspension operation, transobturator tape implantation (TOT) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures performed for female recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery.

Material and methods: A retrospective study was performed on 45 women operated on for recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery. Depending on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into three groups: group I (n = 19) – Burch colposuspension operation, group II (n = 16) – TOT, and group III (n = 10) – TVT operation was performed. The treatment results were assessed using the UDI-6 (Urogenital Distress Inventory) and IIQ-7 (Incontinence Impact Questionnaire) short form questionnaires. We included one additional question: Is the patient satisfied with the treatment outcome? We classified the urinary continence results after surgery as good when patients were cured or improved, and as bad when the treatment failed.

Results: Good urinary continence results were observed in 84.2% of patients in group I, 93.8% of patients in group II, and 90% of patients in group III. 68.4% of patients in group I, 81.3% of patients in group II, and 90% of patients in group III were satisfied with the treatment outcomes.

Conclusions: Burch colposuspension operation, TOT and TVT procedures performed for the female recurrent stress urinary incontinence treatment are effective and show similar good urinary continence results and similar number of patients satisfied with the treatment outcomes.
