A Valsalva leak-point pressure of >100 cmH2O is associated with greater success in AdVance™ sling placement for the treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence

Surgical technique using AdVance sling placement in the treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVES To describe and illustrate a new minimally invasive approach to the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence following prostatectomy. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Our initial experience consisted of four patients treated with the Advance sling for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Sling placement involves the following steps: 1. Urethral dissection and mobilization, 2. Identifica...

Clinical Factors Associated with Low Valsalva Leak Point Pressure Among Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive factors that are associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) in women. METHODS Between January 2008 and December 2009, 185 women with urodynamically proven SUI were included in this study and retrospectively reviewed the medical record. Preoperative SUI symptoms were classified b...

Duloxetine for the treatment of post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVES Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a known complication following prostatectomy. Duloxetine, a combined serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, can decrease SUI by increasing urethral sphincter contractility. We examined the outcomes of patients with mild to moderate post-prostatectomy SUI treated with duloxetine. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of men treated wi...
