Surgery with or without mesh for stress incontinence
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of surgery for female stress urinary incontinence: one using a small piece of mesh tape (TOT) and another that tightens natural tissues without mesh (PLP). It aims to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
