Abstract

Introduction
Post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence is a frequent problem in prostate cancer survivors regardless of the surgical technique used (open, laparoscopic or robotic), with 5-6% patients requiring surgery for this complication (1)
Design
Basic evaluation of patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy should include anamnesis and physical examination, 1-3 days voiding diary, 24-hour pad test, urethrocystoscopy and urodynamic study.
Treatment options, once the conservative measures have failed, are fixed slings, adjustable slings, compression devices and artificial sphincters (2)
Results
The decision to use one technique or another will depend on several factors: severity of the incontinence, urethral / sphincter complex status, cognitive level, manual dexterity, patient expectations and surgeon preferences (3)
Conclusion
In our center we use three devices / techniques for the management of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence:
1. Retrourethral transobturator sling (AdVanceXP)
2. Readjustable suburethral male sling (Remeex)
3. Artificial urinary sphincter (AMS 800 or ZSI 375)
In this video, we present the key steps of each technique.
