Abstract
ABSTRACTUrethral slings are a good treatment option for mild male stress urinary incontinence. There are many different sling options, but herein our group describes our techniques with the Advance® and Virtue® slings. More important than technique, we strongly think that patient selection is paramount to sling success. We only offer slings to patients who have low 24 hour pad weights, high Valsalva leak point pressure, and no history of pelvic radiation. Still, like with any surgery, we recommend that the surgeons implant the device that they are most comfortable with along with their chosen techniques.

Summary
Urinary incontinence has a considerable impact on the quality of life for men. It is estimated to affect 4.8% of males ages 19-44 and up to 32.3% of men over the age of 65. An average of 2.67% are impacted by stress urinary incontinence (SUI) [1]. While the artificial urinary sphincter remains the gold standard for SUI, the male sling has emerged as another treatment for a specific group of men with SUI.
