A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study compares the success rates and complications of two surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence: standard laparoscopic Burch colposuspension and a modified version that resembles the transobturator tape method. The goal is to determine which approach offers better outcomes for women suffering from this condition. Participants will be women with genuine stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence with a predominant stress component who have not responded to conservative treatments. The study will evaluate both the effectiveness and safety of these surgical interventions.
