Transobturator Tape

Transobturator tape is a medical device used to treat stress urinary incontinence, a condition where individuals experience leakage of urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising. The procedure involves placing a thin mesh tape under the urethra, which acts like a hammock to support it and prevent leakage. It's minimally invasive, usually performed under local anesthesia, and involves small incisions in the groin area. The goal is to improve bladder control and enhance the quality of life for those affected by incontinence, with a recovery time that generally allows patients to return to normal activities relatively quickly.
