Objective: The purpose of this prospective study was to compare two different techniques, the drop of water technique versus the Metzembaum scissors technique, to give an adequate tension to the suburethral sling where TOT is used as treatment for urinary incontinence. Material and Methods: The study took place in the Gynecology service of the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital, from November 2009 to September 2011. The two groups of patients; Group "A" (Drop of water technique) and Group "B" (Metzembaum scissors technique) were randomly chosen. Results: It was shown thatmorbidity caused by infection was similar in both groups, nevertheless, a substantial reduction in surgery time existed in Group "B". Conclusion: Both techniques used in the TOT were effective and only differentiated by the shorter surgery time with Metzembaim scissors.
