Are there alternatives?

There are other surgeries that can be done to correct female stress urinary incontinence. Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT or TVT-O) insertion is an alternative that is now the most effective continence surgery.

Non-surgical alternatives include:

• Lifestyle modification, avoidance of precipitating factors like constipation
• Pelvic floor exercises, electrical stimulation +/- biofeedback
• Vaginal cones
• Vaginal pessary
