“…44 Published literature showed a reasonable continence rate greater than 70%. 30,[45][46][47] Like the AdVance sling, greater severity of incontinence, older males and previous radiation therapy are associated with higher postoperative incontinence. 1,2 Common postoperative complications include wound infection, perineal pain, and urinary retention although the incidence of pubic bone osteitis as seen with the InVance MS has not been reported in the literature.…”

Synthetic male sling (MS) is considered an effective surgical treatment to restore male stress urinary incontinence. The modern MS can be categorised into adjustable or non-adjustable types, while the surgical techniques can be divided into retropubic or transobturator approaches. This narrative review paper evaluates the contemporary MS devices in the current commercial market regarding clinical outcomes and refinements in surgical techniques. Scientific advances in device design and technology, coupled with further surgical refinements will enhance the clinical outcomes and improve the safety profile of MS surgery. The newer generation of modern MS not only provides direct compression of the bulbar urethra but also allows for proximal urethral relocation by realigning the mobile sphincter complex to provide further urethral sphincter complex coaptation. Strict patient selection, use of MS with proven clinical records, adherence to safe surgical principles and judicious postoperative care are critical to ensure a high continence rate, good patient satisfaction and low postoperative complications.

“…In a study of 29 patients using a criterion of success of patients being dry (0 PPD or 1 PPD for precaution), ≥1 PPD, or an at least 50% decrease in pad usage, a success rate of 83% was reported at a mean follow-up of 11 months (23). Nineteen (54.3%) and 16 (45.7%) patients in this study were characterized preoperatively with mild (≤2 protections and/or <100 mL/24 h) or moderate (3-4 protections and/ or 101-200 mL/24 h) /severe (>4 protections and/or > 200 mL/24 h) incontinence, respectively (23). Importantly, the high success rate differed by preoperative conditions, with the mild group having an 84% success rate and the severe group with a 43% success rate (23).…”

Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following prostate treatment is a devastating complaint for many patients. While the artificial urinary sphincter is the gold standard treatment for male SUI, the urethral sling is also popular due to ease of placement, lack of mechanical complexity, and absence of manual dexterity requirement. A literature review was performed of male urethral sling articles spanning the last zz20 years using the PubMed search engine. Clinical practice guidelines were also reviewed for comparison.Four categories of male urethral sling were evaluated: the transobturator AdVance and AdVance XP, the bone-anchored InVance, the quadratic Virtue, and the adjustable sling series. Well selected patients with mild to moderate urinary incontinence and no prior history of radiation experienced the highest success rates at long-term follow up. Patients with post-prostatectomy climacturia also reported improvement in leakage after sling. Concurrent penile prosthesis and sling techniques were reviewed, with favorable short-term outcomes demonstrated. Male urethral sling is a user-friendly surgical procedure with durable long-term outcomes in carefully selected men with mild stress urinary incontinence. Multiple sling types are available with varying degrees of efficacy and complication rates. Longer follow-up and larger cohort sizes are needed for treatment of newer indications such as climacturia as well as techniques involving dual placement of sling and penile prosthesis.
