New Delhi: A 48-year-old woman, suffering from continence, a condition characterised by involuntary loss of urine, for the last one year, has finally got relief after undergoing surgery in the national capital.
Indu was suffering from the condition despite medication.
Said to be the first such surgery in India for treating female urge incontinence, Indu was operated at the Safdarjung Hospital Friday.
“Until now, only European countries had conducted 1,000 such surgeries. But now, it is possible in India also,” said B.D. Athani, medical superintendent of the Vardhaman Mahaveer Medical College and Safdarjang Hospital.
The two-hour surgery, called Mesh Implant, is a permanent solution for women suffering from urge incontinence.
The mesh, which is a metallic structure, costs close to Rs.90,000.
“The mesh is placed in between the uterus and the urinary bladder which reinforce the uterine support. This is not a complex surgery and the patient can be discharged within four days,” said An
