Can a hybrid sling improve incontinence surgery outcomes?
NCT ID NCT07762300
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two surgical sling procedures for women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage during coughing, sneezing, or exercise). One uses a standard synthetic mesh sling, while the other uses a hybrid sling that combines a strip of the patient's own abdominal tissue with mesh. The study aims to see which approach is safer, more effective at stopping leaks, and better for sexual function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A hybrid sling combining a strip of the patient's own abdominal tissue (rectus fascia) with a synthetic polypropylene mesh, placed under the urethra to support it.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this hybrid sling could offer a safer, more effective option for women with stress urinary incontinence, potentially reducing mesh-related complications while preserving sexual function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial, and the hybrid sling involves a more invasive procedure (harvesting tissue) that may carry its own risks. Results may not generalize to all patients.
