Male sling surgery is a crucial intervention for select men with stress urinary incontinence. Male sling procedures, employing transobturator and retropubic techniques, aim to bolster urethral support, thereby preventing leakage during activities elevating intraabdominal pressure. Urethral slings act as supportive strips positioned beneath the anterior urethra, resembling a hammock, exerting compression on the bulbous urethra. This mechanism aids in urethral coaptation, effectively curbing urinary leakage. Furthermore, these slings reposition the proximal urethra, aligning it with the urethral sphincter complex and enhancing continence.This comprehensive activity reviews the spectrum of male sling surgery, encompassing indications, patient selection criteria, surgical intricacies, postoperative care, potential outcomes, and complications. Healthcare professionals will gain insights into evaluating and managing patients undergoing male sling procedures, emphasizing the multidisciplinary approach essential for optimizing patient care.
