Several techniques have been developed for the management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). To establish 5‐year outcomes for women who underwent our previously described new retropubic suspension operation (transvaginal Burch operation) for SUI at the Meram Medicine Faculty, a prospective study was performed on 231 women who had been operated on for stress incontinence and who had completed 5 years of follow up. We observed complete remission during the follow‐up period in 215 women (93%). No major complication related to the procedure was reported, and results were found to be satisfactory and encouraging.
