Comparing two sling surgeries for stress incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sling surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during activities like coughing or exercise). It aims to see if a synthetic (man-made) sling works as well as a sling made from your own body tissue, which may help you choose the best option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial compares two surgical methods to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. One uses a graft made from donated umbilical vein tissue, and the other uses your own tissue (fascia) to support the urethra. The goal is to see if the donated tissue works as well as your own tissue but avoids an extra incision.
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 surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence in women. It aims to see which method is more effective and safe.
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 whether a modified mesh improves success rates in a common sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence. It is for women who have not improved with non-surgical treatments and are already planning to have this procedure.
