Abstract

Background: Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition that affects mainly females. Initially, SUI is managed conservatively and surgical approach is reserved for patients who fail conservative treatment. Surgery for SUI has evolved over years with inclination towards less invasive procedures. This is a retrospective study done at tertiary care centre in South India over a period of 3 years which compares long term outcomes of retropubic colposuspension, TVT and TOT surgeries for SUI.

Result- Total of 37 patients were operated by these three surgeries. Outcomes from all the three groups were comparable.

Keywords- Stress urinary incontinence, mid urethral slings, transobturator taping, tension free vaginal tape, Bursch colposuspension.
