colposuspension

Colposuspension is a surgical procedure used to treat women who experience stress urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary leakage of urine when coughing, laughing, or exercising. During the surgery, a surgeon elevates and secures the neck of the bladder to the lower abdominal wall or pelvic ligaments. This helps support the bladder and urethra, preventing leaks during activities that increase abdominal pressure. The operation is typically performed through a small incision in the lower abdomen and can significantly improve quality of life by reducing or eliminating stress urinary leakage.
