You could also use "tape procedures"

Q. What is a transvaginal tape procedure?
A. Transvaginal tape procedures are minimally invasive procedures that are currently performed as an alternative to the more invasive surgical methods. With this type of procedure, a local or regional anesthetic is used. A specialized mesh sling is used to support the urethra and is attached on either side of it. This is a new procedure and long-term results currently show success rates of 85-90%. Due to its noninvasive nature it may be a good choice of treatment for patients who cannot tolerate long surgeries.
