Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of an adjustable sling system AMI in patients with recurrent urinary stress incontinence after failed suburethral sling insertion.
Patients And Methods: Twenty-five patients with recurrent urinary stress incontinence treated with an adjustable sling system AMI were analyzed for feasibility and outcome. Patients' incontinence bother was quantified using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10. Multichannel urodynamics and pad tests were pre- and postoperatively performed. Time of adjustment, time of the surgical intervention, and clinical outcome were also recorded.
Results: Twenty-five patients were treated with the adjustable sling system AMI. Median time of adjustment was 3 days (range 1-8) and a median follow up time of 12 months. Twenty-one out of 25 patients were continent, four patients suffered from persisting incontinence. One patient was put on clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC). Detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (pdet/Qmax) increased significantly as did the maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP). Patient satisfaction improved significantly.
Conclusion: Adjustable slings in women with stress urinary incontinence might be indicated in difficult situations after surgical failure. As we present a selective group of patients these findings may not apply to other patients with recurrent stress incontinence.

Comparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Different Surgical Modalities for the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of four surgical techniques for treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using a sample of 243 patients divided into four groups based on the method used: AFS, TVT-O, epithelial flap suspension, and ASIS.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment outcomes across the groups, but the ASIS group had better metrics in terms of reduced intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays compared to others.
- The TVT-O technique was associated with a higher occurrence of postoperative medial thigh pain, while the AFS group had more cases of urine retention, highlighting the different risk profiles of each surgical method despite overall effectiveness.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine in response to increased intra-abdominal pressure during episodes of exertion. A common treatment method for SUI is sling implantation underneath the urethra to provide support. Most current sling procedures, however, cannot adjust urethral tension postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- This review assesses the impact of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) on male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED), highlighting the significant quality-of-life challenges these conditions present.
- It emphasizes the importance of patient history in determining treatment strategies, suggesting that penile rehabilitation may help improve erectile function post-surgery, though specific programs for optimal recovery are not yet agreed upon.
- The review concludes that effective treatments for post-RALP SUI include both adjustable slings and artificial urinary sphincters, while future research should focus on enhancing treatment methods and patient compliance for better outcomes.

Background And Objective: The ideal candidate for a male sling (MS) should have a mild to moderate degree of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This narrative review article evaluates the current MS devices in the commercial market and examines the role of MS as an effective and safe alternative treatment option for male SUI.
Methods: The available literature on MS was reviewed and relevant clinical studies pertaining to each MS were summarised with emphasis on device design and technology as well as specific surgical findings relating to clinical outcomes.

Background And Objective: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary loss of urine affecting 1-3% of the male population. To manage leakage, patients may try a plethora of penile clamps. and may even consider artificial urinary sphincters (AUS) or sling implantation.
