Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this proposed study, the investigators aim to evaluate a modified suture urethropexy technique for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

Participants will be followed with postoperative visits after 2 weeks, 2 months, and 12 months. Pelvic floor ultrasound imaging will be performed before surgery and after 2 months and 12 months, to evaluate urethral mobility.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed as a prospective observational study. The hypothesis is that suture urethropexy will improve stress urinary incontinence symptoms in participants with stress urinary incontinence and normal urethral closure pressure at 2 months and 12 months after surgery.

Specific Aims:

Aim 1: Investigate the efficacy of this mesh-free suture based surgical technique for improving SUI symptoms

Aim 2: Investigate the efficacy of this mesh-free suture based surgical technique on key urethral support defects observed with 3D ultrasound
