Outcomes of a Series of Patients with Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence Treated with an Adjustable Transobturator Male System or Artificial Urinary Sphincter.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A prospective evaluation of outcomes in a series of patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) treated with two different devices is presented.

Methods

Consecutive patients with PPI underwent interventions with an adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS) or artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Decisions were based on patient preference after physician counselling. Patient characteristics and operative and postoperative parameters including dryness, satisfaction, complications, revision and device durability were evaluated.

Results

One hundred twenty-nine patients were included: 102 (79.1%) received ATOMS and 27 (20.9%) AUS. Mean follow-up was 34.9 ± 15.9 months. No difference was observed between patient age (p = 0.56), ASA score (p = 0.13),
