Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of autologous rectus fascia bladder neck slings as an alternative to synthetic mid urethral slings in certain situations. These situations include patients who decline synthetic materials, have had complications from synthetic materials, have been irradiated, have had urethrovaginal fistula or diverticular repair, or have had unsuccessful mid urethral sling placement. The video demonstrates the procedure for harvesting the sling from the rectus fascia, different vaginal incision options, mobilization of the bladder neck, and placement and tensioning of the sling.
