1374 THE ADVANCE® TRANSOBTURATOR MALE SLING FOR POST-PROSTATECTOMY INCONTINENCE: OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE OUTCOMES WITH 3 YEARS FOLLOW-UP

Aims: To determine patient-perceived and clinical outcomes of the AdVance sling at 3 years follow-up in men with postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI).Methods: Datawas prospectively collected ofmenwithPPI treatedwith theAdVance male sling between February 2008 and March 2010. Twenty-four-hour pad counts and weights and patient completed validated questionnaires were obtained pre-operatively and at 3 years. The primary outcome was improvement in pad countwith secondary outcomes of questionnaire scores and patient perception of success.Results: At amedian follow-up of 39 months (IQR: 36–44), we identified 30 men meeting inclusion criteria who had the AdVance male sling placed for mild to severe PPI. Eighteen (60%) patients were cured (no pad usage or one pad for security) and an additional 4 (13%) showed improvement ( 50% reduction in pad usage). Eight (27%) patients failed: six patients underwent seven salvage procedures including urethral bulking with collagen (n1⁄4 1), Virtue perineal sling (n1⁄4 1), and artificial urinary sphincter (n1⁄4 5). There were 16 post-operative complications: 13 Clavien I, 2 Clavien II, and 1 Clavien IIIb. Conclusions: AdVance male sling is an effective treatment option for PPI evidenced by objective improvements in 24-hr pad count and pad weight and patient perceived success via validated questionnaires.
