The vesicourethral abdominal suspension is also known as?

Marshall-Marchetti
Burch Colposuspension
LeFort Procedure
Pelvic Floor Repair

The correct answer is: Marshall-Marchetti

The vesicourethral abdominal suspension is commonly referred to as the Marshall-Marchetti procedure. This surgical technique is designed to treat urinary incontinence in women by providing support to the bladder and urethra, helping to restore their proper function. The procedure involves anchoring the bladder neck to the pelvic wall through abdominal incisions, which can enhance the stability of the urinary system during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing or exercise. Understanding this procedure is crucial for recognizing its role within the broader context of surgical interventions for urinary incontinence, especially among female patients. The other terms listed, while related to pelvic support and surgery, refer to different techniques or concepts and are not synonymous with the vesicourethral abdominal suspension. For instance, Burch colposuspension also addresses incontinence but employs a different approach and technique.
