Abstract

Stress urinary incontinence is usually caused by iatrogenic injury during prostate cancer surgery. Most treatment options are surgical in nature and include periurethral bulking, artificial urinary sphincter, and male slings. During the past decade, innovations in male sling surgery have contributed to an increased interest in their use among treating urologists and their patients. Currently, male slings are most efficacious in men with mild to moderate stress incontinence, with no prior history of pelvic radiation, and without prior artificial sphincter placement. In this population, high efficacy rates and low complication rates are typically achieved.
