Summary

This study compares two surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or lifting). One uses a mesh tape (transvaginal tape), the other tightens the urethral ligaments without mesh. Researchers will follow 200 women for one year to see which approach works better and has fewer complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
surgical procedures (urethral ligament plication and transvaginal tape)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simpler, non-mesh surgery works as well as the standard sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. Both surgeries carry risks like infection, bleeding, or urinary retention.
