Bladder Sling Surgery

Bladder sling surgery is a procedure designed to treat urinary incontinence, particularly stress incontinence, where physical activities like coughing or sneezing cause leakage. During the surgery, a thin mesh tape or sling is placed under the neck of the bladder to provide support and help keep it in the correct position. This supports the urethra and helps prevent involuntary leaking. The procedure is usually minimally invasive, with small incisions, and can lead to significant improvement in bladder control and quality of life for those affected. Recovery time varies, but many people return to normal activities relatively quickly.
