The urethral sling procedure is a surgical intervention designed to treat stress urinary incontinence by providing support to the urethra. It involves placing a mesh-like tape under the urethra to prevent involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities such as coughing or lifting.

Urethral Sling Procedure

Surgical intervention involves the manual and instrumental techniques performed to treat a pathological condition, improve bodily function, or enhance appearance. It requires careful consideration of risks and benefits, informed consent, and often involves a multidisciplinary team for optimal patient outcomes.

Surgical Intervention

Stress urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise. It is primarily caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and urethral sphincter dysfunction, often due to childbirth, aging, or surgery.
