Examination of urinary incontinence

First of all, it is tried to distinguish the type of urinary incontinence from the patient's history. Examination findings are very important in the differential diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Trans obturator tape (TOT) surgery is the most commonly used sling surgery in women with a high success rate and low side effects. In cases where the urethra (urinary canal) is hypermobile and causes sphincter (urinary holding muscle) insufficiency, it is aimed to reduce this mobility by hanging the urethra up.
