This surgery provides support for your urethra. That's the tube urine flows through when you pee. A midurethral sling helps stop accidental urine leaks that happen when you sneeze, cough, laugh or exercise. This is called "stress incontinence."

This is when you need to urinate often and suddenly. It happens when the muscles that control your bladder have spasms. These spasms can force out urine even when your bladder isn't full. When you feel the need to go, you may have only a few seconds to get to the toilet.
