Insights into Navigating Anatomical Challenges Related to Male Slings
摘要
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men is typically seen following radical prostatectomy (RP) for the management of prostate cancer or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Despite advances in surgical technique, incontinence at 12 months is reported in 5% of patients following RP (range 4–31%), and in 1–2% following TURP. Due to psychosocial impacts, urinary control following surgery bears significant weight in overall quality of life. Up to 6% of patients with SUI following RP will proceed to anti-incontinence surgery.
