- Good overall health making the patient a suitable candidate for laparoscopic surgery.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including urodynamic studies and possibly a cystoscopy.
- Discuss all current medications with the doctor; some (like blood thinners) may need to be paused.
- Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, ECG, and a chest X-ray as advised.
- Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink for 8-12 hours before surgery).
- Arrange for assistance at home and transport for the day of discharge from the hospital.
Risks & possible complications

- Potential for recurrence of incontinence over time.
- Formation of adhesions (scar tissue) internally.

Diya Roy, a 48-year-old primary school...
Diya Roy, a 48-year-old primary school teacher and mother of two, had been struggling with stress urinary incontinence for over five years. It began after the birth of her second child but worsened significantly after she started perimenopause. Simple acts like laughing with her students, coughing, or lifting a box of books would cause embarrassing leaks. She had stopped going to her weekly Zumba class and was constantly anxious about finding a restroom. After trying pelvic floor physiotherapy for a year with only modest improvement, her gynaecologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension. He explained it as a minimally invasive surgery to lift and support her bladder neck, addressing the root anatomical cause. Diya was terrified of surgery but desperate for a solution. The procedure itself went smoothly; she was discharged the next day with mild abdominal discomfort from the small incisions. Recovery took about six weeks, with a gradual return to normal activity. The outcome was transformative. For the first time in years, she could laugh freely, exercise, and live without the constant fear of leakage. Emotionally, she journeyed from a state of quiet shame and social withdrawal to feeling confident and reclaiming her vibrant, active life.
