First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence in women: laparoscopic Burch colposuspension and transobturator tape. Sixty adult women who have not improved with non-surgical treatments will be randomly assigned to one surgery. Researchers will check success rates, operation time, hospital stay, and complications at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.
