Transobturator Tape Procedure
The Transobturator Tape (TOT) procedure is a minimally invasive surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence in women, which is the involuntary leakage of urine during activities like coughing or sneezing. During the procedure, a small sling made of mesh material is placed under the urethra through tiny incisions in the groin and vaginal area. This sling provides support to the urethra, helping it stay closed during increases in abdominal pressure. The surgery aims to improve continence with a shorter recovery time and fewer complications compared to traditional methods.
