Medication is more successful than surgery for urge incontinence, usually. Urge incontinence is caused by overactivity of the bladder wall muscle.

Side effects of surgery include

infection
worse incontinence
urethral stricture and urinary retention

All of these are quite uncommon

Check out Physical Therapy. They have exercises to retrain your brain so it will stop sending the overactive messages to your bladder muscles.
