Bladder Sling Procedures

Bladder sling procedures are surgical techniques used to treat urinary incontinence, especially stress urinary incontinence, where urine leaks during activities like coughing or lifting. A small sling made of mesh or natural tissue is placed under the urethra or bladder neck to support it and keep it closed during physical activity. This adds stability and prevents involuntary urine loss. The procedure is typically minimally invasive, often performed through small incisions, and can significantly improve quality of life by reducing or eliminating leaks. Recovery varies but generally involves some time for healing and adjustment.
