Sling Procedure

Sling Procedure in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group. Sling procedures are minimally invasive surgical options for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition where the pelvic organs bulge into the vagina. At Emirates Hospitals Group, our gynecologists offer advanced sling procedures to restore pelvic support and improve quality of life.

About Sling Procedure

Sling procedures involve placing a synthetic mesh or tape to support the pelvic organs and prevent prolapse. There are different types of sling procedures, including anterior, posterior, and mid-urethral slings, depending on the specific type of prolapse.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments weaken, allowing the uterus, bladder, small intestine, or rectum to bulge or drop into the vagina. This can cause symptoms such as pelvic pressure, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel, and urinary or fecal incontinence.

Procedure

Sling procedures can be performed through different approaches, such as vaginal, abdominal, or laparoscopic. The specific technique depends on the type of prolapse and the surgeon’s preference. The procedure involves placing a synthetic mesh or tape to support the pelvic organs and restore their normal position.

Benefits of Sling Procedure

Sling procedures offer several advantages, including:

• Effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.
• Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions.
• Shorter hospital stay and recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries.
• Improved quality of life by restoring pelvic support.

Recovery

Recovery time varies depending on the type of sling procedure performed. Our urogynecologists provide detailed post-operative care instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery process.
