Long-term follow-up of detrusor instability following the colposuspension operation.

Pre- and post-operative clinical and urodynamic data have been reviewed in 24 women with detrusor instability following colposuspension. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 5 years. Ten women remained asymptomatic throughout; of the remainder, four (28.6%) were improved by drug therapy. With one exception, patients who were symptomatic at the outset remained so at late follow-up.
