There are several types of surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence in women:
- Synthetic sling surgeries: These use man-made mesh slings, like the mid-urethral sling, to support your urethra.
- Non-synthetic surgeries: These use your body’s own tissues or stitches to support your bladder and urethra, such as Burch colposuspension and autologous fascial sling.
- Implantable devices: For some people, especially those with severe incontinence, an artificial urinary sphincter implant may be recommended. This device is a small, mechanical cuff placed around the urethra to control urine flow, and it can be manually operated to allow urination.
