The treatment of UI can be performed surgically or by conservative techniques such as physiotherapy, behavioral therapy and drug therapy. The research aim was to identify the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women who performed surgery procedure for correction of UI at the Western University Hospital of Paraná (HUOP). All records of patients treated at the gynecology sector diagnosed with UI undergoing surgery in the years 2008 and 2009 were analyzed. Data was entered into a spreadsheet and analyzed in terms of relative and absolute frequencies. The results demonstrate that the average was observed in 52.41 years (± 12.11), 128 (58.99%) patients were aged between 40 and 59 years old.
