The Saskatoon Clamp-TM: a new anti-incontinence device.

he problem of male urinary incontinence has received much less attention than its female counterpart. Although numerous procedures have been developed to cure incontinence in females, males to a large extent have had to make do with stopgap measures. This may be due in part to the lower incidence of stress-induced incontinence in males. However, several factors, including an aging population and the increased popularity of radical prostatectomy to treat prostate cancer, have resulted in an increased incidence of male urinary incontinence. For this reason, our group decided to revisit this clinical problem and develop a new device for its correction.
