The tension-free vaginal tape has revolutionised the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence but remains an abdominal procedure with all of the potential complications therein. The transobturator tape procedure described here produces the same end result i.e. a tension-free tape left under the midurethra, but without the risks of an abdominal procedure. This article describes the development and early experience of this very promising procedure.
