Sling vs injection: which works best for leakage after prolapse surgery?
NCT ID NCT06754046
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two procedures—a sling or a bulkamide injection—to treat stress urinary incontinence in women who are also having vaginal prolapse repair. About 476 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments and followed for 24 months. The goal is to see which approach better reduces bothersome incontinence symptoms and has fewer complications.
