Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence is a condition associated with advancing age and high parity. Millions of women all over the world have suffered, in silence, embarrassment and social isolation due to this condition. Over the years, several operative procedures have evolved for correction of urinary incontinence with many of them having poor success or high recurrence rates over long-term period. This mini review covers various surgical procedures evolved over the last couple of years and recent advances in the management of urinary incontinence.
