- This prospective clinical study aims to compare the short-term effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of two surgical techniques used for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI): Pubo-Urethral Ligament Plication (PLP), a mesh-free native tissue repair method, and the Transobturator Tape (TOT) procedure, a commonly used mesh-based mid-urethral sling technique. The study evaluates continence improvement, perioperative and postoperative complications, operative time, hospital stay, postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction.
