What is a pelvic sling?

A pelvic sling is a supportive device used to stabilize the pelvic region, often in the context of treating pelvic organ prolapse or providing support after pelvic surgery. It typically consists of mesh material that is surgically implanted to lift and support the pelvic organs, helping alleviate symptoms such as urinary incontinence or pelvic pressure. The procedure aims to restore normal function and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing pelvic floor disorders.
