What Is laparoscopic surgery for stress incontinence?
Laparoscopic surgery for stress incontinence is called bladderneck suspension. In one procedure, two to four stitches are placed between the vaginal wall and pubic bone. This stabilizes the vaginal wall and bladderneck causing slight compression of the urethra at the bladderneck which prevents leakage of urine when straining (e.g. coughing, laughing, sneezing).
