urethra sling surgery

Sat Mar 05, 2016 5:21 pm

My urologist said he's going to perform urethra sling surgery using my own tissue to do it.Has anybody had this done? I'm feeling quite nervous about it all but I can't go on with this incontinence,it's been over 15 years of having to wear heavy pads....

Good luck and keep us informed. Your patient's eye view of this procedure will be a valuable addition to our inventory of experiences here.

I'm glad he is using your tissue to make the repair. Mesh can and has left many people worse off than when they started. A friend of mine had this done with tissue and had great success with it. She does her Kegals and has it down to a dribble ever once and a while. Best of luck, I hope the procedure goes great .

She was off work for six weeks then came back light duty, the doctor said that he didn't want her to do anything to mess up his work.
