surgical interventions for incontinence

Surgical interventions for incontinence aim to improve bladder control when other treatments haven’t worked. Procedures include inserting a sling or a mesh tape around the urethra to help it close properly and prevent leaks. Another option is bladder neck suspension, which lifts and supports the bladder neck to reduce leakage. In some cases, a sphincter implant is placed to mimic a functioning muscle that keeps the urethra closed. These surgeries are tailored to the individual’s condition and health, often providing significant improvement in quality of life by reducing or stopping involuntary urine loss.
