摘要：
Systems for providing support to body tissue to alleviate incontinence are disclosed that comprise an elongated incontinence sling having a central support portion adapted to be positioned to support any one of the urethra or anus and first and second sling end portions extending from the central support portion through body tissue and a tension adjustment mechanism acting on or within one or both of the sling end portions. The sling tension adjustment mechanism is attached to and extends through an adjustment spacing between sling intermediate ends within at least one sling end portion. The adjustment spacing is lengthened to decrease sling tension and shortened to increase sling tension.
