Is a revolutionary procedure that has completely changed the results of Urinary Incontinence within the last decade. Previously, complex interventions were carried out with bad results which did not completely correct the incontinence or left the patients with problems when urinating.
The technique consists in the application of a new concept using «Tension Free Bands». Although there are different procedures, the most popular is the TOT technique (Trans Obturator Tape). Which consists in the vaginal colocation of a «band» (which is a polypropylene tape, a new material of porous mesh which the body does not reject). This is generally fitted under spinal or general anaesthetic, without sutures. This band substitutes the ligaments which may have been damaged after giving birth or over the course of time.
As it is not sewn, it integrates into the body like a new ligament and gives an elastic support to the urethra, correcting the incontinence naturally.
The effect is immediate although we must insist that it should only be used for Urinary Incontinence, and it is very important to avoid physical strain and lifting of heavy objects during the first months after the procedure until the body has connected itself to the mesh. The effect is efficient and «everlasting», if the adequate precautions are taken.
