Bladder neck suspension is a surgical procedure aimed at treating stress urinary incontinence by providing support to the bladder neck and urethra. It involves lifting and securing the bladder neck to prevent involuntary urine leakage during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing or exercising.

Stress urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise. It is primarily caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and urethral sphincter dysfunction, often due to childbirth, aging, or surgery.
