Flexible cystoscopy-guided implantation of ProACT: Surgical technique and long-term outcomes.

Objectives: We aim to describe the ProACT implantation using flexible cystoscopic guidance and to report long-term outcomes in these patients.

Patients And Methods: This single-centre retrospective study include all men who underwent ProACT™ for SUI after RP using flexible cystoscopic guidance between 2007 and 2021. The implantation was performed via a perineal approach under general or locoregional anaesthesia.

Adjustable Continence Therapy (ACT®) balloons to treat female stress urinary incontinence: effectiveness, safety and risk factors of failure and complication.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To assess the effectiveness, safety and risk factors of failure and complications associated with Adjustable Continence Therapy (ACT®) balloons as a treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods: In the present multicentric retrospective study, all women implanted with ACT® balloons between 2000 and 2018 were considered eligible. Effectiveness and safety were assessed at 1 year, and risk factors for failure and complications were sought.

Adjustable continence therapy (ACT®) balloons to treat neurogenic and non-neurogenic female urinary incontinence.

Aims: To compare efficacy and safety between neurogenic and non-neurogenic women after adjustable continence therapy (ACT®) balloons implantation to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Methods: In the present retrospective multicentric study, all neurogenic and non-neurogenic women implanted with ACT® balloons between 2000 and 2018 were considered for inclusion. Efficacy was compared 1 year after implantation, and women were allocated in three different groups as follows.
