Abstract:
Male acquired urinary incontinence can be a complication of radical prostatectomy and posterior urethroplasty. Mild urinary incontinence can be improved by pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback and medicine treatment. Severe urinary incontinence requires more active treatment, such as injection therapy, artificial urethral sphincter insertion, and bulbourethral sling. Recent progress in the treatment of male acquired urinary incontinence is reviewed in this article.
