Sling surgery for bladder leakage: does it work Long-Term?
NCT ID NCT05255289
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a surgical sling (a small mesh tape) works for women with stress urinary incontinence—leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Researchers will measure bladder function before and after surgery in 200 women. The goal is to see if the sling safely controls leakage without harming the bladder's ability to empty.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- midurethral sling (trans-obturator tape or tension-free vaginal tape-obturator) surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that midurethral sling surgery is a safe and effective way to control stress urinary incontinence in women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 200 participants, and it is retrospective, so results may not apply to all women. The surgery itself carries risks like infection or voiding problems.
