| Popis: | Introduction Previous worked showed that the Andrianne Mini-Jupette (AMJ) procedure with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) significantly improves climacturia or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) that may accompany erectile dysfunction (ED) after radical prostatectomy. However, with the AMJ procedure, the graft is incorporated into the medial aspect of the corporotomy, thereby requiring a more complex closure. Moreover, in the original report, multiple graft materials were used. Aim To describe our technique for “male urethral mini-sling” (MUMS) with a Virtue sling mesh, which is a modified approach to the AMJ, and to assess early postoperative outcomes. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed for men who underwent IPP and MUMS placement with a modified Virtue mesh by 2 high-volume prosthetic urologic surgeons using the same technique. After proximal urethral exposure, the MUMS is sutured to the latera corpora over the bulbar urethra, proximal to and separate from the planned corporotomy, with care taken to avoid excessive urethral tension. The IPP is then placed in standard fashion. Changes in patient-reported climacturia and pads per day for SUI were assessed before and after surgery. Results 36 men underwent both IPP and MUMS placement between January 2016–October 2018. Mean patient age was 68 years. Etiology for ED and urinary symptoms was prostatectomy alone in 30 of 36 (83%) and prostatectomy plus radiation in 6 of 36 (17%). Preoperative urinary symptoms included climacturia in 30 of 36 (83%) and SUI in 27 of 36 (75%). Mean (SD) follow-up was 5.9 (3.7) months. Climacturia resolved in 28 of 30 (93%), and SUI improved in 23 of 27 (85%). The mean (SD) number of pads per day for those patients with SUI decreased significantly from 1.4 (1.1) before surgery to 0.4 (0.6) after surgery (P = .02). 1 patient required MUMS explantation for urethral erosion after prolonged postoperative catheterization. Clinical Implications The MUMS with modified Virtue mesh at the time of IPP placement can be used to treat ED with climacturia or mild SUI after radical prostatectomy. Strengths & Limitations Strengths include the use of a consistent operative technique with a single graft material by 2 experienced prosthetic urologic surgeons. Limitations include the retrospective study design, use of subjective postoperative outcomes, lack of comparison group, and relatively moderate follow-up duration. Conclusions Our early results suggest that the MUMS significantly improves bothersome climacturia and mild SUI in addition to treating ED, with little added morbidity. Although further study, including longer-term follow-up, is needed, this approach may be considered in the appropriately counseled patient. |
