Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosed stress urinary incontinence (SUI) where urine leaks with physical activity.
- Failure of conservative management, such as pelvic floor muscle therapy (Kegel exercises) or behavioral modifications.
- Leakage that significantly impacts daily life, social activities, or emotional well-being.
- Hyper-mobility of the urethra, where poor pelvic support allows it to move excessively during pressure.
- Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD), where the urethral closing mechanism is weak.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough urological evaluation, including a physical exam and possibly urodynamic testing.
- Discuss all current medications with your urologist; you may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days prior.
- Undergo pre-operative tests as advised, which may include blood work, an ECG, or a urine culture.
- Follow specific fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) before the surgery.
- Arrange for transportation home post-procedure, as you will not be able to drive.
Risks & possible complications
- Common: Temporary urinary retention, urgency, or frequency; mild pain or discomfort at the incision site.
- Infection: Risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) or, rarely, infection at the surgical site.
- Mesh-related: Rare risks include mesh erosion (into the vagina or urethra), exposure, or chronic pain.
- Bladder or Bowel Injury: Uncommon risk of accidental injury during tape placement.
- Recurrence or Failure: In some cases, incontinence may persist or recur, requiring further treatment.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Op: You will be monitored for a few hours; most patients go home the same day with a temporary catheter if needed.
- Activity: Avoid heavy lifting (more than 10 lbs), strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks as advised by your doctor.
- Hygiene: Keep the incision area clean and dry. Showering is usually permitted, but avoid baths, swimming pools, and hot tubs.
- Symptom Management: You may experience some urgency or frequency; this often improves over weeks. Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
- Follow-up: Attend all scheduled post-operative appointments to monitor healing and bladder function.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
