Types of Bladder Slings Surgery

Article Category: Womens Interest

Author Name: Dr Scott Crawford, MD

Lots of people today seem to be suffering from stress or urge incontinence. The condition which basically refers to the involuntary release of urine has been plaguing both men and women for years now. This is why medical science is looking for the best ways to provide treatment for the problem.

Among the most popular treatments for urinary tract incontinence are bladder slings. These are supportive slings attached to the urethra or the bladder, allowing it to be helped up into its original position . The purpose of this is providing additional strength to the pelvic area so that it can control the release of urine. Currently, there are several types of bladder slings being used today.

TVT or Transvaginal Tape

TVT is introduced to the body through a small cut along the vagina. A synthetic mesh is carefully looped around the urethra and then held in place using two needles. The main means of support used for a TVT surgery is body tissue that pushes into the tape keeping it in its proper place. What's great about TVT is that it allows for adjustments, ensuring perfect placement even before the wound is sealed. Unfortunately, there's a small risk of injuring the bladder as the doctor cannot see the needles as they enter the designated area.

TOT Sling or Transobturator

The TOT surgery came out after the TVT breakthrough. Actually, this was a different approach to TVT with the process refined to get better results. Unlike the TVT process, the sling is inserted through the obturator foramen, a part of the pelvis. Incisions are once again done to provide an entry point for securing the sling. The main advantage of this surgery is that it presents less complication for the individual. However, the process is mostly effective for urinary incontinence caused by a weakened pelvis.

Pubovaginal Sling

One of the more popular sling surgeries, pubovaginal utilizes the bone as an anchor instead of the tissues. In some cases, the doctor utilizes the patient's abdominal muscles to secure the bladder to a specific position. The main problem with this is that if the sling is anchored to the bone, it raises the possibility of complications that are harder to treat than the actual surgery.

Exempt
Sling for Males

Although urinary tract incontinence happens more often to women than men , that does not mean that guys cannot suffer from the problem. For cases like this, a male sling is utilized to provide bladder support without being inserted through the vagina. Instead, the patient has their slings supported on the pelvic bone before being secured around the urethra.

With the introduction of bladders slings to a patient, the symptoms of urinary incontinence gradually abate. At this point, individuals would only release urine if they make a conscious effort to do so .

Keep in mind though that bladder slings are usually a last option. Although practically everyone with urinary incontinence is a candidate for the surgery, it is recommended that a patient first tries out other methods .
