Transvaginal tape is a minimally invasive procedure to treat Stress Urinary Incontinence in women. Transvaginal tape procedure may take about 30 - 40 minutes and is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. A mesh tape is inserted through a small incision in the vagina and is positioned underneath the urethra.
The transvaginal tape is then pulled up through two tiny incisions in the skin's surface just above the pubic area. As it passes through several pelvic tissue layers, the friction of underlying tissues holds the tape in place like velcro. Over time your body tissues will grow into the mesh and will permanently secure it.

At the end of the procedure the Transvaginal tape will be trimmed just under the skin's surface and the tiny incisions will be closed. Transvaginal tape is performed on an outpatient basis therefore, prior hospitalization is not necessary.

When This Care Is Considered
Medical tourism has proved to be a cost effective process of health care. It has been found that the cost of some of the treatments in India is at least 10 times lesser than that of its western counterpart. In countries like Britain and Canada the public health service systems are sometimes unable to provide quick service especially when it comes to non-urgent medical services.
Under such circumstances patients consider medical tourism as a lucrative option. They can choose from a wide option in the global market to suit their pocket. Surgeons of trans vaginal tape in India assist patients with pre and post-travel medical issues. They also help the patients' follow up medical care. This has been a relief for those who are apprehensive about medical tourism.
