The laparoscopic Burch procedure. A preliminary report.
Laparoscopic retropubic colposuspension (Burch procedure) is now being performed in our department as the treatment for genuine stress urinary incontinence. This study presents the first eight cases. Our experience with the laparoscopic approach seems promising. The operative technique has been developed, and the method provides better visualization of the space of Retzius, the patients experienced minimal blood loss and a shorter hospital stay than with the laparotomy approach. Although short follow-up, all the patients except one were continent after three months. This preliminary report demonstrates that laparoscopic Burch procedure may be a valuable addition to the new procedures in 'minimal invasive surgery'.

[An epidemic of ectopic pregnancies in Ostre Akershus. Looking for possible causes].
During the period 1969 to 1985, 640 women with a confirmed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy were admitted to Sentralsykehuset i Akershus. The case histories were reviewed for possible predisposing factors. From 1969 to 1985 the frequency of ectopic pregnancy increased threefold in relation to the number of conceptions in the same region. Until 1978 the major part of this increase was observed among women with IUCD in situ. Women who had previously undergone surgery on the uterine tubes accounted for the greater part of the increase in extrauterine pregnancies after 1976. A large year-to-year variation was found among women with neither of the above predisposing factors. However, a rising frequency of ectopic pregnancies was also observed in this group. It appears that the risk of ectopic pregnancy is greater among women using IUCD than among women using other methods of contraception.
