What Is Urinary Incontinence Surgery (Sling Operation)?
Urinary incontinence is a common health problem, especially in women, and can significantly affect quality of life. The most common type is “stress urinary incontinence,” which occurs during situations that increase intra-abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, or lifting heavy objects. This condition develops as a result of the weakening of the structures that support the bladder and urethra.
The urinary incontinence sling surgery (sling operation) is one of the most effective surgical methods for treating this problem. In this procedure, a special support material (sling) is placed under the urethra to provide support. Thus, the mechanical weakness causing urinary incontinence is eliminated and urinary control is restored.
The surgery is usually completed in a short time and is often performed using minimally invasive techniques. After the procedure, patients are generally discharged on the same day or the following day. The recovery process is fast, and the patient can return to daily life in a short time.
The success rate of this surgery is quite high, and in the majority of patients, urinary incontinence complaints are significantly reduced or completely eliminated. However, as with any surgical procedure, patient selection and the application of the correct technique are of great importance.
At Cyprus American IVF Center, urinary incontinence sling surgeries are performed safely and effectively by experienced specialist physicians using modern techniques.
If urinary incontinence is affecting your quality of life, it is important to know that it is a treatable condition.
