Episode 31: Sling Surgery for Urinary Incontinence

This episode we are joined by Dr. Jae Kim, who will be taking a deep dive into sling surgery for urinary incontinence. During a sling procedure, a synthetic mesh or natural tissue is placed underneath the urethra to support it and prevent urine leakage. The sling is usually inserted through small incisions made in the vagina or abdomen and is positioned in a hammock-like manner, using the pelvic muscles to support the bladder and urethra. *The information provided on the site is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.
