I have read a lot about sling for prolapse repair. what is involved in traditional suture repair? what is overall success rate? possible complications?

Sling 4 incontinence: A sling is an outpatient procedure that is now gold standard for stress incontinence. Choices for prolapse repair include: vaginal vs abd vs l'scopic or robotic; native tissue (trad suture) vs mesh augmented; and w/hysterectomy or w/o. The right choice depends on age, activity level, first surgery or recurrent prolapse, health, & risk factors for recurrence or complications. Consult a urogyne.

Failure: Traditional surgical repairs that use just sutures have been reported to have failure rates as high as 40 to 50% by some. These procedures are often referred to as a&p repairs & sacrospinous ligament fixation. Complication such as infection, bleeding, pain, injury to urinary bladder & rectum, and failure of the repair are the most common.
