Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition in women and is often treated with surgical procedures such as transobturator tape (TOT), tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), and Burch colposuspension. Although these procedures are widely used, there is limited information comparing their short-term anatomical and patient-reported outcomes using imaging techniques.
The aim of this study is to compare the short-term anatomical and subjective outcomes of TOT, TVT, and Burch colposuspension in women with stress urinary incontinence. Transperineal ultrasonography will be used to assess anatomical changes before surgery and during follow-up. Patient-reported outcomes and clinical findings will also be evaluated.
The results of this study may help improve the understanding of surgical outcomes in stress urinary incontinence and support clinical decision-making.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| tot | Active Comparator | Participants underwent mid-urethral sling surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. |
|
| tvt | Active Comparator | Participants in this arm underwent tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. |
|
| Burch Colposuspension | Active Comparator | Participants in this arm underwent Burch colposuspension surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. |

| Transobturator Tape (TOT) Procedure | Procedure | Placement of a synthetic tape beneath the mid-urethra via the transobturator route. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Urethrovesical and Urethral Angles Assessed by Transperineal Ultrasound | The primary outcome is the change in urethrovesical and urethral angles measured by transperineal ultrasonography before surgery and at 3 months after surgery. | Baseline (preoperative) and 3 months postoperatively |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Subjective Improvement in Stress Urinary Incontinence Symptoms | Subjective outcomes were assessed using the Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form (UDI-6) and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7). For both scales, scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a greater impact of symptoms and worse quality of life. | Baseline and 3 months postoperatively |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison of Anatomical Outcomes Between Surgical Techniques | Anatomical outcomes assessed by transperineal ultrasonography were compared between the TOT, TVT, and Burch colposuspension groups. | 3 months postoperatively |

Participants were assigned to one of three parallel intervention groups (TOT, TVT, or Burch colposuspension), and each participant received only one type of surgical intervention. Outcomes were assessed and compared between groups during the same follow-up period.
