ABSTRACT

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is characterized by involuntary urine loss during physical activity such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise, or lifting [1,2]. A common cause of sui in women is the rotational descent of the bladder neck and proximal urethra (bladder neck hypermobility) resulting in the inappropriate opening of the proximal urethral lumen during periods of increased intra-abdominal pressure [1,2].
