Abstract:
Treatment of male urinary incontinence is one of the most distressing problem in the urologic practice. Recent advances in implantable devices have improved the outlook for patients with incontinence, but the prosthetic surgery has mechanical problems to be solved, and does not maintain physiologic normality. Recently, we treated a case of postprostatectomy incontinence, and obtained a good result with surgical intercavernous embedding of the bulboperineal urethra.
