Sling angle may improve incontinence surgery success
NCT ID NCT07530484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 184 women with stress urinary incontinence who had a single-incision sling surgery. Researchers compared two sling insertion angles—one acute and one standard—to see which led to better cure rates and quality of life at 6 months. The goal is to find the best angle for surgical success.

- Active substance
- single-incision midurethral sling surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons choose the best sling angle to improve cure rates and quality of life for women with stress urinary incontinence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study with 184 participants, so results are available but may not apply to all patients or sling types. The angle difference is small, and outcomes may vary.
