Male sling is as good as more complex surgery for incontinence after prostate surgery

This study assessed the procedures in men who experienced incontinence for more than 12 months after prostate surgery. It found that both methods improved men ' s quality of life, and serious complications were rare. However, few men in either group achieved zero leakage.
The results will allow surgeons to better explain the benefits, drawbacks, and likelihood of success of both procedures. This will help men make an informed choice. But the researchers caution that men need realistic expectations ahead of either procedure.
