Following the needles: an anatomical study to evaluate the postoperative safety and symptoms of patients receiving a transobturator male sling implant.

Purpose: Implanting a transobturator male sling is a valid option to manage urinary incontinence after prostatectomy. We evaluated the trajectory of Argus T™ needles blindly introduced into the retropubic space to determine the safety and etiology of postoperative symptoms that can arise from this implant.

Materials And Methods: Needles were implanted and perineal dissection was performed in 20 fixed, adult human male cadavers.
