Urinary incontinence surgery

Urinary incontinence, particularly stress incontinence (leakage when coughing, laughing, carrying loads or during sport), is a common problem that impairs quality of life. When pelvic floor rehabilitation is not sufficient, surgical treatment may be proposed. The reference technique in women is the placement of a suburethral sling: a small synthetic tape is placed under the urethra through very short incisions, to support it during exertion and prevent leakage. It is a short procedure with a generally straightforward recovery. Other techniques exist and are chosen according to the type of incontinence and the results of the assessment. Before any surgery, a complete urodynamic assessment is carried out to characterize the mechanism of the leakage precisely and propose the most appropriate treatment. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, this care benefits from a major asset: the urodynamic testing center integrated within the clinic, which ensures a seamless pathway from the initial assessment through to the procedure and follow-up.
