About This Treatment

Surgical treatment for stress and mixed urinary incontinence including midurethral sling procedures (TVT/TOT), artificial urinary sphincter implantation, and bladder neck suspension. Chinese urogynecology and urology centers offer both male and female incontinence solutions with minimally invasive techniques. These procedures restore urinary control and significantly improve quality of life for patients who have failed conservative management.

Procedure Steps

Urodynamic Assessment

Comprehensive urodynamic testing, cough stress test, post-void residual measurement, and cystoscopy to classify incontinence type

Duration: 1 day
2

Procedure Selection

Determine optimal surgery: midurethral sling for female stress incontinence, artificial sphincter for male incontinence, or Botox injection for urge type

Duration: Consultation
3

Surgical Correction

Minimally invasive sling placement, sphincter implantation, or colposuspension under regional or general anesthesia

Duration: 30-90 minutes
4

Continence Rehabilitation

Voiding trial, pelvic floor physiotherapy guidance, activity modification, and follow-up pad testing to confirm success

Duration: 4-6 weeks
