The sling procedure is fairly new and involves implanting a small, adjustable sling, which acts like a hammock, to support the bladder neck and control leakage, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Here is a great link to an article from the Mayo Clinic in regards to the procedure. It appears to be minimally invasive in comparison to other procedures used in the past. You can read the article here http://www.mayoclinic.org/news2006-jax/3562.html.
Healthline.com also provides some great information about the procedure here http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/sling-procedure.
