Summary One hundred and eighty female patients complaining of Stress incontinence were treated by a modified Burch colposuspension. Follow‐up results were available at six months in 146 patients, at one year in 88 patients and at two years in 43 patients. The overall objective cure for stress incontinence was 87 per cent at six months, 87.5 per cent at one year and 86 per cent at two years. No relationship was found between the cure of incontinence and either the time taken to resume spontaneous voiding after surgery or concomitant hysterectomy. Cystourethrocele was effectively corrected by this procedure.
