What Is a Pubovaginal Sling?

Pubic vaginal sling is a kind of sling. Traditional slings use different materials, a "U" shape that spans the bladder and urethra and secures it to the abdominal wall at the upper edge of the pubic bone. Because this operation requires another incision to obtain the fascia, it is not easy to grasp the suspension tightness, so it has less clinical application. It is mainly used for patients with poor treatment effect and other sphincter function loss. Pubic vaginal sling surgery anchors a screw above the pubic bone and uses it as a fulcrum to suspend the bladder and urethra. This method fixes the angle and position of the bladder and urethra closer to the physiological position.
