Medical Spotlight 3/29/10 "Incontinence Sling"
Published March 29th, 2010
Its a medical procedure not may not be "life-saving." But a lot of people may call it "quality of life-saving."
Incontinence troubles both men and women. Until recently, however, doctors performed a certain, highly-successful procedure on women only. Now, a small piece of synthetic mesh is beginning to change the lives of men who suffer from urinary incontinence.
In the Medical Spotlight, Dr. Martin Rifkin of Simed and North Florida Regional Medical Center tells TV 20's David Snyder about a "sling" that's now putting men at ease along with women.
