Bladder safety during sling surgery study
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a technique to reduce bladder injury during a common sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence. It may help patients avoid complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a retropubic midurethral sling procedure
- You do not have cognitive or intellectual impairment that would affect your ability to fill out questionnaires
- You are not having surgery for cancer at the same time

This trial tests a surgical implant (a small supportive sling) placed under the urethra to treat women with mixed urinary incontinence—meaning both stress leakage (during activity) and urgency symptoms together. The goal is to reduce both types of leakage.
This trial studies whether an easy, flexible exercise plan after mid-urethral sling surgery helps improve stress urinary incontinence (bladder leakage with coughing or activity). You may be asked to follow the exercise plan and attend follow-up visits for up to 2 years to see how symptoms change over time.
This trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
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 trial tests if placing a sling to treat stress urinary incontinence before or after fixing pelvic organ prolapse changes outcomes. It may help women who need both procedures.
