A narrative review: evaluation and surgical management of persistent and recurrent urinary incontinence after previous surgical treatment
Abstract
Background and objective: Urinary incontinence after prostate treatment is associated with significant morbidity and impact on quality of life. Stress urinary incontinence can be treated by insertion of a urethral sling or artificial urinary sphincter. Persistent or recurrent urinary incontinence after such treatment can be frustrating and require specific evaluation and approach to management to optimize chance of successful outcomes and patient satisfaction whilst avoiding further patient morbidity. The aim of this review is to outline the evaluation and management of persistent and recurrent urinary incontinence in men after previous surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence by way of narrative review.
Methods: A literature review was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar between 2010 to 2023. The search strategy included the following MeSH terms: device, men, urinary incontinence, persistence, recurrence, and revision. A total of 140 English-language articles were identified and reviewed; 68 articles were considered relevant to the aims and the findings have been outlined in this narrative review.
Key content and findings: There are many approaches currently practiced by surgeons in continence revision surgery. There is not clear consensus regarding optimum revision strategy for persistent and recurrent incontinence post urethral sling and artificial urinary sphincter insertion. Whilst small observational studies have reviewed different surgical…
