Aims and Objectives
|
Delegates will acquire a current overview of surgical options and limits of postprostatectomy incontinence therapy. Various sling devices have been developed over the last 15 years and can now be evaluated with long-term studies. Adjustable devices offer the opportunity of adaptation to a changing degree of incontinence during follow-up. The specific role of fixed and adjustable slings as well as balloons in this field will be defined. The mainstay of treatment of more severe stress incontinence is still the AMS 800 sphincter prosthesis. However, new and also adjustable implants have been introduced in recent years and will be covered. Case discussions will give practical views of complex aspects as well as troubleshooting.
