Article/Chapter Title: Surgical treatment of male stress urinary incontinence: An overview
Abstract: Male stress urinary incontinence is a common malady, most often caused by treatment of prostate cancer. After standard evaluation and confirmation of male stress urinary incontinence, multiple treatment options are available. Pelvic floor muscle exercises/therapy should be made available to all patients and if patient remain bothered with stress urinary incontinence, surgical therapy is an option. Surgical options include urethral bulking agents, male slings, and artificial urinary sphincters – all of which have varying degrees of efficacy, durability, and complication profile. Furthermore, some patients may be better candidates for a specific procedure due to known risk factors such as degree of incontinence of history of radiation therapy. Finally, secondary surgery is also available for patients who have already been treated surgically for male stress urinary incontinence. This manuscript will provide an overview of surgical treatment for male stress urinary incontinence. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
