[Treatment of males with post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence by a mesh anchored to the ischio-pubic bones].
We presented the results of an alternative in the treatment of the stress urinary incontinence of male radical postprostatectomy. Is a technique of renewed interest in the last years, cradle in the procedure of Stamey, consisting of placing an on guard suburetral polypropylene mesh, anchored by means of screws to the isquiopubian branches. We have applied the procedure in 4 patients and with stress urinary incontinence of long evolution. After an average pursuit of 12.5 months, two patients present total continence, one has improved significantly and in the other the incontinence persists. There have been no postoperating complications nor rejection of the mesh. From these preliminary results and the reviewed bibliography, we thought that this technique can constitute an alternative to the artificial urinary sphincter, dices its clinical results, its facility of execution, the good tolerance and his low cost.
