Bladder Sling Surgery

Bladder sling surgery, a common procedure for treating stress urinary incontinence in women, involves placing a supportive mesh under the urethra to prevent involuntary urine leakage. This technique, often referred to as mid-urethral sling or tension-free vaginal tape, aims to provide structural support to the urethra, compensating for weakened pelvic floor muscles.

The procedure typically involves a minimally invasive approach, where small incisions are made to insert the sling. It’s essential to highlight the materials used for the sling, often polypropylene, are biocompatible, ensuring they integrate effectively with your body tissue, minimizing the risk of rejection. Clinical studies suggest that bladder sling surgery has a high success rate, with many patients experiencing significant improvements in urinary continence.
