Objectives : To assess the effectiveness of laparoscopic colposuspension after previously failed anti‐incontinence surgery. Methods : Retrospective review of 10 cases, all with urodynamically proven grade 2 genuine stress incontinence. Results : All patients were subjectively cured at 3 months or more follow‐up. The mean hospital stay was 2.9 days, the mean time until normal voiding was 1.7 days, and the mean blood loss was 39 m l. Conclusion : Laparoscopic colposuspension may be useful after failed anti‐incontinence surgery. However, larger numbers are needed with objective longer term follow‐up.
