Summary

In the treatment of urinary incontinence caused by coughing, sneezing, or heavy lifting, the investigators will perform urinary tract tightening surgery, both with and without a sling, to address the relaxed urinary tract. The investigators would like to evaluate the one-year success and results of the sling or non-sling urinary tract tightening surgery the investigators will perform on the participants.

Detailed description

The participants will undergo surgery to tighten the urinary tract due to urinary incontinence. There are two types of surgery: with and without a sling. Both have a high success rate. However, in rare cases, complications related to the sling method can occur in some patients. The urinary incontinence will be prevented with either the sling or non-sling method. The investigators will call the participants for follow-up appointments after the surgery to share the results with them.

Conditions

• Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
