I had a Sling inserted in 2012. It improved my incontinence then. But my incontinence is now bad. Has any body had a replacement sling or a new sling.

The AMS 800 is designed to control incontinence which is more severe than a sling can control.

GP24 Thanks. I understand I have been told I can’t have that pump because my pipe has been damaged. I self caterise. I don’t understand my urologist reason. I have a teleappointment with him next week. I am hoping he can help me.

GP24 I Burnett 1948 am set to have a AMS 800 inserted to-morrow the 28/4/2021. It’s a 2 hour operation with full anesthesia. Then it will be one month before activation. Thank for your advice.
