The gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the autologous rectus fascia pubovaginal sling. Although successful, it is associated with increased morbidity related to the graft harvest. Because of this, less invasive techniques were developed, including the retropubic and trans-obturator midurethral sling and the bone-anchored sling (BAS). Early reported outcome failures and concern for bone-anchored-related complications caused BAS to fall out of favor. However, technique modifications and use of a more durable graft or mesh have proven that the transvaginal placement of BAS is actually safe and effective in treating patients with SUI. Further, recent evidence suggests that the bone-anchored sling may be a reasonable option for treatment of patients with moderate to severe and/or recurrent SUI.

Narrative review of male urethral sling for post-prostatectomy stress incontinence: sling type, patient selection, and clinical applications.

Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following prostate treatment is a devastating complaint for many patients. While the artificial urinary sphincter is the gold standard treatment for male SUI, the urethral sling is also popular due to ease of placement, lack of mechanical complexity, and absence of manual dexterity requirement. A literature review was performed of male urethral sling articles spanning the last zz20 years using the PubMed search engine.

We describe a rare case of ectopic papillary thyroid cancer in the thyroglossal duct tract invading the floor-of-mouth musculature. The postablative defect was reconstructed with a bone-anchored tensor fascia lata graft to resuspend the floor of mouth to the mandible as a neogeniohyoid sling, enabling maintenance of a functional tongue position for normal speech and swallowing. This reconstruction should be considered when suprahyoid musculature is resected without breaching the oral lining.

Introduction: The transvaginal bone anchored polypropylene sling (BAS) has proven to be a successful treatment for patients with SUI. However, there is limited data on long-term outcomes following BAS with polypropylene mesh. We report our series of patients who had at least 3 years of follow-up after placement of BAS.

Herein we describe our experience with a bone-anchored sling using a suture anchor and polypropylene mesh for the treatment of post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Eight patients with urinary incontinence as a result of intrinsic sphincter deficiency after radical prostatectomy were included in the analysis. The procedure involved piercing the pubic bone with a bone drill, inserting the suture anchor and fixing a soft or rigid polypropylene mesh to press firmly on the bulbar urethra.
