Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a fairly common disease among women. Synthetic meshes are frequently used in midurethral sling procedures due to the high long-term success rates. Because of the publications about vaginal mesh complications in recent years, urogynecologists are turning to techniques without mesh. The purpose of this video is to show that SUI can be treated without mesh complications by utilizing the meshless urethropexy technique. A 50-year-old woman applied to our urogynecology department with complaints of incontinence. Physical examination, stress test, Q-tip test, urine test and transperineal ultrasound performed. Post-void residual urine measured. The patient completed incontinence questionnaires: urogenital distress inventory-6, incontinence impact questionnaire-7. After discussing results SUI was diagnosed. Treatment options were offered to the patient. Due to mesh complications concern the patient preferred this approach and underwent urethropexy. The steps of meshless urethropexy technique was demonstrated in this video. SUI can be treated with this approach without worrying about mesh complications, but long-term results are needed.
