Abstract EN

Objective.

To evaluate functional outcome of the retrourethral transobturator sling suspension (RTS) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) caused by prior prostate surgery.

Methods.

The RTS (AdVance male sling) was implanted in 32 patients who suffered from mild to severe postsurgical-treatment incontinence at the University Hospital Ulm from September 2010 to September 2011 including 10 patients with prior radiation therapy.

Functional data (uroflowmetry, daily pad use, and postvoid residual urine) as well as quality of life with impact of urinary problems (ICIQ-UI SF) were prospectively assessed at baseline and during followup.

Results.

After a median followup of 9 months (range, 3–14) the incontinence cure rate (no pad usage) was 56.2% and the improvement rate (1-2 pads/day or ≥50% reduction) was 21.9%.

No improvement was observed in 21.9%.

Daily pad use and ICIQ-UI SF score improved significantly.

No major perioperative complications occurred.

Postoperatively, 15.6% of the patients exhibited transient acute urinary retention which resolved without further treatment after a maximum of 3 weeks.

One patient underwent sling explantation due to dislocation and persistent perineal pain.

Conclusions.

The implantation of the RTS is a safe and effective procedure in selected patients with SUI resulting from prostate surgery.
