Treatment options for Stress Urinary IncontinenceThere are many options for treating or managing your incontinence. It is important that you discuss your options with your doctor, and gain an understanding of what each treatment might mean for your future. By treating your incontinence successfully, you can return to the active lifestyle you have always enjoyed. Sling ProceduresIf you have been diagnosed with female stress incontinence, one surgical option your doctor may recommend is a Trans-obturator sling procedure, a minimally invasive operation. A sling procedure corrects stress incontinence by supporting your urethra to keep it in its correct position. Currently, Coloplast sling procedures have a success rate of about 85%. Stress incontinence can occur when weak pelvic-floor muscles, or pressure from other organs, shift or weaken the bladder neck. When the bladder neck is out of place, the urethral sphincter may not be able to keep the bladder neck closed under physical stress. The surgically implanted sling corrects stress incontinence by supporting and repositioning the bladder neck and urethra in their correct position-which can help the urethral sphincter function properly. The end result is that after a sling procedure, most women can once again regain control of their bladder. SlingThe Coloplast Aris® sling is made from a synthetic permanent biocompatible material. This material promotes tissue ingrowth, which is essential to long-term success and provides support to your urethra in the surgical treatment of stress incontinence.
