Brief Summary: Urinary incontinence, commonly observed among women aged 30 to 60, encompasses Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), responsible for the majority of cases. This condition significantly affects the quality of life, influencing physical, emotional, and sexual aspects. Severe cases impact libido and cause vaginal dryness, affecting not just sexual function but also relationships, leading to an overall decline in quality of life. Hence, examining sexual functions in those affected by SUI holds significance.

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of mesh-urethra distance on sexual functions using perineal ultrasound in continent patients post-transobturator tape (TOT) surgery for isolated SUI.

Patients achieving continence post-surgery were categorized based on the distance from the posterior of the urethra at the bladder neck to the nearest proximal edge of the tape: \< 5 mm and \> 5 mm.

Questionnaires, including the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), were administered preoperatively and at the 6-month postoperative follow-up.
Detailed Description: Urinary incontinence, often seen in women aged 30 to 60, involves Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in most cases. It significantly affects life, impacting physical, emotional, and sexual well-being. Severe cases can lower sex drive and cause vaginal dryness, affecting not just the individual's sex life but also relationships, leading to a lower quality of life overall. That's why looking at how SUI affects sexual aspects is crucial.

The study aimed to see how the distance between the mesh and urethra after transobturator tape (TOT) surgery might affect sexual function in patients who no longer experienced incontinence. Patients were divided based on this distance, and surveys like the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) were used before and six months after surgery.
