Sling procedure in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı OBGYN & Women Genital Aesthetics
About the clinic
The sling procedure for urinary incontinence is available at the Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Özbaşlı clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. This treatment helps women regain bladder control through minimally invasive techniques like TOT and TVT. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government, confirming its standards for international care.
Treatment Methods and Techniques
The clinic focuses on treating stress urinary incontinence using specialized mesh supports. These slings provide a stable base for the urethra to help prevent leaks during physical activity. Two primary techniques are used based on the patient's specific needs:
- Transobturator Tape (TOT) – A method that places the sling through the groin area to reduce the risk of bladder injury.
- Transvaginal Tape (TVT) – A technique that supports the urethra from behind the pubic bone.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The surgery is performed under spinal or general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. It is a minimally invasive surgery, which means smaller incisions and less trauma to the body. Patients typically stay in the hospital for one night. A bladder catheter is used during this time and removed the next morning. This short stay helps medical staff monitor the initial recovery before the patient returns to their hotel.
Recovery and Results
Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days. The procedure has high success rates for resolving bladder leaks. Full recovery typically takes several weeks, during which heavy lifting should be avoided. The clinic provides support through the healing process to help patients return to their normal lives quickly.
International Patient Services
The clinic is located in Istanbul and manages many international patients each year. Packages often include assistance with airport transfers and hotel stays to make the trip easier. The facility follows strict government regulations for health tourism. This helps maintain a safe environment for patients traveling from abroad for surgery.
