Urethral Sling

A urethral sling is a minimally invasive surgical device used to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. It consists of a thin, sturdy mesh tape placed around the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the bladder) to support it and prevent leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising. By providing this support, the sling helps restore normal bladder control with a quick recovery time and minimal discomfort. It’s a common and effective option for women experiencing bladder leakage due to weakened pelvic muscles or other issues affecting urethral support.
