Male Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Surgical Intervention: Procedures, Technical Modifications, and Patient Considerations

  • Chapter
Male Stress Urinary Incontinence

Part of the book series: Urodynamics, Neurourology and Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions ((UNPFD))

Abstract

Stress urinary incontinence represents a significant and common complication following urological surgery with a significant impact on patient quality of life. In this chapter, we review stress urinary incontinence rates following several common urological interventions including urethral dilation, direct vision internal urethrotomy, urethroplasty, and several procedures for prostatic obstruction including transurethral incision, transurethral resection, transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), greenlight photovaporization, and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). In addition, we also review stress urinary incontinence for prostate cryotherapy and radical retropubic, perineal, laparoscopic, and robotic assisted prostatectomy as well as technical modifications and patient risk factors that may influence postprostatectomy functional outcomes.
