Transobturator Tape Surgery (TOT) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. During TOT, a small synthetic mesh tape is placed underneath the urethra through tiny incisions made in the groin area. This tape acts as a supportive sling, providing extra support to the urethra and bladder neck to prevent urine leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising. TOT offers several benefits, including minimal scarring, shorter recovery time, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery for SUI.

Despite its minimally invasive nature, TOT should be performed by experienced surgeons trained in the procedure to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize the risk of complications. Patients considering TOT should discuss the procedure in detail with their healthcare provider to determine if it is the most suitable option for their specific condition and medical history.
