Male Stress Urinary Incontinence and Sexual Health

Male Stress Urinary Incontinence and Sexual Health

The purpose of this study if to demonstrate if post-prostatectomy incontinence is a barrier to sexual satisfaction/frequency/desire and if surgical correction of incontinence will improve these aspects of sexual health.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult men age 18-80 who have had an open or laparoscopic radical prostatectomy more than 6 months ago who have bothersome urinary incontinence.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any significant cardiac or pulmonary co-morbidities that would preclude the patient from another surgical procedure as they would be too high risk for general anesthesia.
• They will also be excluded if based on their anatomy or urodynamics, they will most likely not benefit from a surgical incontinence procedure (e.g. poor bladder contractility, bladder neck contracture, etc).
