CONT

Opération de la vessie : Chez les femmes atteintes d'incontinence d'effort grave, l'intervention chirurgicale aide près de 90 % des patientes. Il existe différents types d'intervention chirurgicale et il revient au médecin de déterminer lequel est le mieux adapté à un cas spécifique. Une opération fréquente s'appelle «intervention de fronde». Pratiquée au niveau du vagin, elle permet de soutenir la vessie en créant une sorte de «hamac» sous l'urètre.
