ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical procedures to help women who experience stress urinary incontinence, which is a condition where urine leaks out during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising. The researchers want to find out which surgery works better: the transobturator tape (TOT) operation or the urethral ligament plication operation. They will also look at which procedure has fewer complications or risks.

To participate, women must be at least 18 years old and have symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. However, women who are pregnant, have had certain previous surgeries, or have other specific medical conditions may not be eligible. Participants will be followed for up to one year after their surgery, with check-ins at about 5 days, 2.5 months, 6 months, and 1 year to see how they are doing and if they have experienced any complications. This trial aims to help improve treatment options for women dealing with this common issue.
