Despite improved surgical techniques, exist an increasing number of patients suffering post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Some 2-5% of the patients with incontinence after radical prostatectomy exhibit a persistent incontinence for >1 yr postoperatively despite conservative therapy attempts. For these patients surgical treatment is recommended and the artificial urinary sphincter is still the gold standard. The retro-urethral transobturator sling (AdVance®) represents a non-obstructive, functional therapeutic approach. Methods: A 64-year-old male had an elevated PSA level of 6 ng/ml. The DRE findings were negative for palpable nodules and subsequent TRUS-guided needle biopsy of the prostate showed right-sided prostatic adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 7(3+4). The patient underwent a transperitoneal LRP, the tumor was confined to the prostate with negative surgical margins (stage T1cNxMx). The follow-up PSA level was undetectable and 14 months later presented moderate SUI (3-4 pads/daily), despite conservative therapy. A previous urethrocystoscopy was performed to evaluate the sphincter function and the mobility of the posterior urethra (changes achieved by perineal pressure). The AdVance® sling (American Medical Systems) was placed for the treatment of SUI according to the Rehder and Gozzi method, with a total operative time of 40 min and estimated blood loss of 70 mL. The hospital course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the first post-interventional day. This video demonstrates the surgical technique (step-by-step). Results: After 1 year, complete continence (no pads) was achieved and quality-of-life score improved significantly. Conclusions: The AdVance® represents an effective, safe and minimally invasive treatment option for mildto-moderate SUI post-radical prostatectomy.
