Mid-urethral sling surgery treats stress urinary incontinence (SUI). There are 2 types of mid-urethral sling surgery: a mesh mid-urethral sling and a pubovaginal sling. Topics include the differences between the 2 types of slings and possible risks for each. This pamphlet will help you decide which type may be right for you.
