Abstract

Treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence is a constantly developing field. This condition has a significant impact on quality of life and is very bothersome to patients. Although the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is still considered the gold standard surgical treatment, there is a continuous search for a less invasive solution. As a matter of fact, a new device or procedure is introduced almost on a yearly basis. There are more than 10 different slings available on the market worldwide! The slings can be positioned in a retropubic or trans obturator fashion, some can be adjusted after surgery, and they can be made of polypropylene, silicone, or a combination of both materials.
