Sling or no sling? study tests two surgical fixes for leaky bladder
NCT ID NCT07484321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or lifting). One uses a mesh tape (transvaginal tape), the other tightens the urethral ligaments without mesh. Researchers will follow 200 women for one year to see which approach works better and has fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgical procedures (urethral ligament plication and transvaginal tape)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simpler, non-mesh surgery works as well as the standard sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. Both surgeries carry risks like infection, bleeding, or urinary retention.
