Surgical Treatment
Some of the more common procedures that are less invasive than major surgery include bladder neck suspensions (often called “sling” procedures) and bulking agents such as Macroplastique. Implantation of an artificial sphincter is a major surgery that is reserved for those patients with the worst incontinence.

In most cases, surgery is considered to treat incontinence only when less invasive treatment options aren’t working or sufficient. Surgical options vary greatly, with some of the most common surgical options for incontinence being minimally-invasive such as urethral bulking agents. Many are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you receive treatment and are able to go home the same day!
