Comparing two sling surgeries for stress incontinence in older women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
