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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which surgery works better for stopping urine leakage during activity, helping women choose the best option.
