TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape)

Tension-Free Vaginal Tape (TVT) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat female urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary leakage of urine. During the procedure, a thin mesh tape is placed under the urethra (the tube carrying urine) to provide support and help maintain its position, preventing leaks when sneezing, coughing, or exercising. The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia and has a quick recovery time. It offers many women a lasting solution to incontinence, improving their quality of life significantly. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks and potential complications.
