    Complications of urethral sling surgery may include:

    • Difficulty urinating after surgery
    • New symptoms of urgency or urge incontinence
    • Injury to an organ (such as the bladder, urethra or ureters)
    • Internal bleeding
    • Infection at the incision site

    All surgeries that use general anesthesia carry a small risk of complications or death
