title: Post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence: a review of surgical treatment options.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  • To review the urological literature regarding the management of Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence (PPUI).
  
  
  METHODS
  • A Pubmed literature search was performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  • The definition of Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence varied widely. • The artificial urinary sphincter has proven efficacy and durability. • Newer devices, in particular the AdVance sling, lack quality studies despite its apparent popularity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  • Currently there is insufficient evidence to determine whether newer devices approach the efficacy and durability of the artificial urinary sphincter.
