Comparing two sling materials for stress incontinence surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical treatments for women with stress urinary incontinence: a sling made from your own body tissue (fascia) versus a sling made from donated umbilical vein tissue. The goal is to see which is safer and works better for stopping urine leaks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have stress urinary incontinence (leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise) or a mix where stress is the main problem.
- Your bladder neck or urethra is too mobile (confirmed by a doctor's exam).
- You have tried pelvic floor therapy (e.g., Kegel exercises) but still have bothersome leakage.
- You are willing to do a 1-hour pad test to measure leakage and can follow study instructions.
- You have not had prior surgery for incontinence, and you do not have other major health problems (like uncontrolled diabetes, nerve bladder issues, or pelvic organ prolapse).

This study compares two surgeries for stress urinary incontinence in older women. One uses the patient's own tissue (fascia sling), the other uses a synthetic mesh tape. The goal is to see which works better long-term.
This study looks at long-term results of a sling operation placed under the urethra using your own tissue to reduce urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise. It may help women whose stress incontinence has not improved with conservative treatments (or who don’t want more non-surgical treatment).
This trial studies a surgery that uses the patient’s own tissue to place a supportive sling for stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise). It may help women who haven’t improved with conservative treatments or who prefer not to try more non-surgical options.
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
This study compares two treatments for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough or sneeze) done at the same time as surgery to fix a dropped bladder or uterus. One treatment is a small gel injection (bulking), the other is a sling procedure that supports the urethra.
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
