[Experience of transobturator sling for iatrogenic male stress urinary incontinence]

We performed transobturator sling (TOS) surgery for iatrogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in 7 men. Assessment with the International Consultation Society Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form revealed that complete continence, significant improvement, and no change of incontinent status were observed in two, three, and two patients, respectively, at one year after surgery. Of the three patients with significant improvement, two patients obtained a pad-free status. Both of the two patients without improvement had a past history of salvage radiation therapy for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy before TOS surgery. The severity of SUI seems not to be associated with the outcome of TOS surgery. TOS surgery can be one of the surgical options for iatrogenic male SUI.
