Summary
There are many ways to perform a suprapubic approach pubovaginal sling. Some surgeons inject
local pain medical into the retropubic space before placing the sling, others do not. This
study is to determine if injection of local pain medication into the retropubic space before
placing a mid-urethral sling for urinary stress incontinence results in lower postoperative
pain scores, lower use of postoperative narcotic medication and lower rates of urinary
retention.
