In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study looks at the best time to place a midurethral sling (MUS), which is a small piece of mesh used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (leaking urine when you cough, laugh, or exercise). The sling is placed during a type of surgery called robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC). This surgery helps fix pelvic organ prolapse, when organs like the bladder or uterus drop from their normal place. Doctors can place the sling either before or after they lift and support the top of the vagina during surgery, but they aren't sure which timing works better. In this study, investigators are comparing what is the best time to place the sling, how the patient feels after surgery and if a patient's symptoms got better or worse.
