Understanding Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
Stress Urinary Incontinence is a common condition in women, causing involuntary urine leakage during coughing, laughing, sneezing, or physical activities. TOT (Trans-Obturator Tape) surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide long-term relief by supporting the urethra and improving bladder control.
Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence:
Leakage of urine during physical movements
Frequent urges to urinate
Reduced confidence due to constant wetness
Discomfort or irritation around the pelvic area
At Dr. Kanade Hospital, SUI is carefully evaluated using:
Detailed medical history and pelvic examination
Urine analysis to rule out infections
Ultrasound to assess pelvic floor support
Urodynamic tests for accurate diagnosis
TOT is a modern, quick, and minimally invasive technique to treat SUI:
A small synthetic mesh tape is placed under the mid-urethra
The tape provides support during coughing or movement
Performed through tiny incisions with minimal bleeding
Usually done under regional or general anesthesia
Patients return home the same day or next day
High success rate with long-term relief
Minimally invasive with very small incisions
Faster recovery and less postoperative pain
Improved quality of life with restored confidence
Lower complication rate compared to older techniques
Expertise in female pelvic floor surgeries
Advanced laparoscopic and urogynecologic care
Personalized diagnosis and treatment planning
Modern operation theatre and anesthesia support
Compassionate, patient-centered women’s healthcare
