Single-incision Versus Retropubic Mid-Urethral Sling (Solyx) for SUI During Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy

Comparing two sling methods for urinary incontinence during minimally invasive surgery.

Recruiting
21 years and older
Female
Phase N/A

The study is called **SASS**, which stands for Single-incision Versus Retropubic Mid-Urethral Sling (Solyx) for SUI During Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy. It is a medical study to help women with **stress urinary incontinence (SUI)**, a condition where you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. The study wants to find out which type of sling, a small piece of mesh placed under the urethra to support it, works better: the **single-incision sling (SIS)** or the **retropubic sling (RP)**. This will be done during a surgery called **sacrocolpopexy**, which fixes pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where organs like the bladder drop from their normal position.

  • The study lasts until all follow-up visits are completed.
  • Participants must return for all scheduled visits and fill out questionnaires.
  • Eligibility includes being at least 21 years old and having certain medical conditions.

If you join, you'll help doctors learn which treatment is best, but you must be okay with having a synthetic sling and attending all follow-up appointments. Make sure you're not planning to get pregnant or have certain medical conditions before joining.
