A 72-year-old woman from Secunderabad, who was unable to chuckle, cough, sneeze or even lift some weight for the past two decades due to a medical condition that caused urine leak, will now do all those at will, thanks to a surgical intervention.
The patient was suffering from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), wherein urine leaks out with a sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra.
Dr. Sarika Pandya, an expert in female urology department at Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU) in Hyderabad, performed a surgical procedure—stress incontinence surgery, known as transobturator tape (TOT) procedure—to cure the patient of this condition.
