surgical treatment for incontinence

Surgical treatment for incontinence involves procedures that help improve bladder control. Common methods include placing support devices, such as slings, to reinforce the urethra and prevent leakage, or creating new pathways to ensure urine flows properly. In some cases, an artificial sphincter, a device that opens and closes the urethra, is implanted. These surgeries aim to restore normal function, reduce leaks, and improve quality of life. The choice of procedure depends on the type and cause of incontinence, as well as individual health factors, and is typically performed by a specialized urologist or gynecologist.
