Mid-urethral Sling Procedures

Mid-urethral sling procedures are surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence, where leakage occurs during activities like coughing or exercising. The surgeon places a small, elastic sling made of mesh tissues under the middle part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out). This sling acts like a supportive hammock, helping the urethra stay closed during pressure, reducing unexpected urine leaks. The procedure is usually minimally invasive, done through small incisions, and offers a high success rate with quick recovery. It effectively restores continence by providing additional support to the bladder outlet.
