Urinary Incontinence Surgery
Mid-urethral sling surgery: a minimally invasive treatment for stress urinary incontinence, with a short operating time and fast recovery.
Stress urinary incontinence is urine leakage that occurs when abdominal pressure rises (coughing, sneezing, running, lifting heavy objects). Its root cause is insufficient support from the urethral sphincter and pelvic floor.
Mild symptoms can improve with pelvic floor muscle training or the EMSella magnetic stimulation chair, but if these are not effective enough, or if symptoms already seriously interfere with daily life, surgery is currently the most effective solution.
Mid-Urethral Sling Surgery (TVT / TOT)
This is currently the standard procedure for treating stress urinary incontinence. A thin strip of mesh is placed under the middle of the urethra to provide stable support, so the urethra can close effectively when abdominal pressure rises, stopping leakage.
Pre-Operative Evaluation
Before surgery, a complete urodynamic study is needed to confirm the type and severity of leakage and rule out other causes such as overactive bladder, before deciding whether surgery is suitable and which procedure to choose.
After Surgery
After surgery, you need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks. Recovery of urinary function varies from person to person, and your doctor will continue to follow up with you at the clinic.
