Objective: To explore whether bulbourethral suspension procedure is effective for the treatment of male urinary incontinence of post-prostatectomy and posterior urethroplasty.

Methods: Twelve male patients with urinary incontinence undergone bulbourethral suspensive operation were reviewed and analyzed with regard to the operation method, postoperative urinary dynamics and clinical results.

Results: Ten patients resumed complete control of urination and 1 was improved. In one patient, postoperative difficulty occurred in voiding but corrected by transurethral bladder neck revision for free passage of urine and continence. Urodynamic study showed that the maximum urethral pressure ranged from 85 to 115 cm H(2)O (mean 98 cm H(2)O, 1 cm H(2)O = 0.098 kPa). The functional urethral length ranged from 3.5 to 4.5 cm (mean 3.75 cm).

Conclusion: Bulbourethral suspension procedure is effective in the treatment of male urinary incontinence after prostatectomy and posterior urethroplasty.
