Objectives:
• To review the urological literature regarding the management of Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence (PPUI).
Methods:
• A Pubmed literature search was performed.
Results:
• The definition of Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence varied widely. • The artificial urinary sphincter has proven efficacy and durability. • Newer devices, in particular the AdVance sling, lack quality studies despite its apparent popularity.
Conclusion:
• Currently there is insufficient evidence to determine whether newer devices approach the efficacy and durability of the artificial urinary sphincter.
