Which surgery works best for leaky bladder? new study compares top options
NCT ID NCT07312617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing or sneezing) to compare three common surgeries: TOT, TVT, and Burch colposuspension. Researchers used ultrasound to measure changes in the bladder and urethra before and 3 months after surgery, and also asked women how they felt. The goal was to see which surgery gives the best short-term results and help doctors choose the right treatment.
