Sling Procedure
The Sling Procedure is a surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence, often caused by weakened pelvic muscles. It involves placing a supportive "sling" made of either a synthetic material or your own tissue around the urethra (the tube that carries urine out). This sling provides extra support, helping the urethra stay closed when you cough, laugh, or strain, preventing urine leaks. The surgery is typically minimally invasive, performed through small incisions, and aims to restore normal bladder control, improving quality of life for those affected by incontinence.
