   A urethral sling is a surgically implanted device that stabilizes pelvic tissues and organs of women.

   Transvaginal mesh, also known as vaginal mesh implant, is a net-like surgical tool that is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) among female patients.

8. Urethral hypermobility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urethral_hypermobility

   A weakened pelvic floor muscle fails to adequately close the urethra and hence can cause stress urinary incontinence. This condition may be diagnosed by primary care providers or urologists.
