Sling Surgery for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control when pressure is placed on the bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects. Stress urinary incontinence can usually be treated with a variety of conservative treatments. These include lifestyle changes, exercise, weight loss, or bladder assist devices. When these options are unsuccessful, surgery may be an option for women with stress urinary incontinence.
