Mid-urethral Sling Procedure
The mid-urethral sling procedure is a minimally invasive surgery designed to treat urinary incontinence, particularly stress urinary incontinence, which occurs when activities like coughing or laughing cause leakage. During the procedure, a thin mesh tape is placed under the urethra to provide support and help keep it closed during physical activities. This can improve bladder control and reduce leakage. It typically requires only a local anesthesia and has a quick recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal activities relatively soon after the procedure.
