As mentioned above by me, the physician has the responsibility to review with the patient the procedure/risks/benefits and complications of sling surgery. It is the gold standard and many women benefit from it, however it does have risks. As adults, all patients must do their due diligence and research the surgery they plan to have, ask the doctor questions (even if they may appear "stupid"), and get a second opinion, if not satisfied with your doctor's approach. Just because the doctor didn't exlpain it well is no reason to blindly go ahead with surgery, even if its minimally invasive. After all, it is your body, and ultimately, you are in control.
