Urinary Incontinence Surgery Urinary incontinence is a condition where urine leaks involuntarily, which can cause discomfort in daily life and psychological distress. Stress urinary incontinence, in particular, where urine leaks when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects, is relatively common in women, with childbirth, aging, and weakened pelvic floor muscles being known as the primary causes. At Seoul Miz Hospital, we accurately evaluate the patient's symptoms and condition, and if necessary, help improve symptoms through urinary incontinence surgery. The representative surgical method, the TOT (Transobturator Tape) procedure, involves inserting a special tape under the urethra to provide stable support, which can help alleviate symptoms of urine leakage when abdominal pressure increases. The surgery is performed in a relatively short time, and depending on the patient's condition, local anesthesia or an appropriate anesthesia method is selected. Before surgery, the type of urinary incontinence, severity of symptoms, and bladder function are comprehensively checked through specialist consultation and examinations to determine the direction of treatment. Urinary incontinence is a condition where accurate diagnosis and treatment are more important than feeling embarrassed or enduring it. Seoul Miz Hospital aims to improve women's quality of life by providing professional medical care and treatment tailored to each patient's individual condition.

Risks and Notes
After urinary incontinence surgery, you may temporarily experience pain, bleeding, bruising, swelling, discomfort during urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying, frequent urination, or changes in the urinary stream. Most of these symptoms gradually improve during the recovery process, but if they persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention. Rarely, complications such as infection, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, bladder injury, vaginal discomfort, pain at the surgical site, or tape-related complications may occur, and additional treatment or procedures may be required depending on the patient's condition. For a certain period after surgery, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, prolonged walking, sexual intercourse, saunas, tub baths, and swimming. Recovery periods and lifestyle restrictions may vary depending on the patient's condition and the surgical method, so you must follow the guidance of your medical team. If you experience high fever, severe pain, excessive bleeding, foul-smelling discharge, difficulty urinating, severe feeling of incomplete emptying, or persistent urinary abnormalities after surgery, please contact the hospital or visit us immediately. This surgery is performed for the purpose of symptom improvement, and the surgical results and degree of recovery may vary depending on the individual's condition, the type of urinary incontinence, and the severity of the symptoms.
