Clinical Efficacy and Patient Satisfaction of the New AdVanceTM (Non Bone-Anchored) Male Sling Tarek Pacha1, Darryl R.Reaume2, Jon Suleskey2, Jeff Schock2 Henry Ford Macomb Hospital – Warren Campus1,
Introduction • Devastating!! • 25-33% • Management up to 1 year is conservative • AUS Gold standard • Morbid • Technically challenging
Pt with mild incontinence • <5 pads • Better understanding of mid-urethral sling in women • Development of Male sling • Bone anchored • Can have serious complications • Non bone-anchored sling (2006)
Methods • Prospective study • Efficacy • patient satisfaction/expectation • UCLA PCI (urinary function section) questionnaire • 14 patients by single surgeon • Pre-Op: hx<5 pads, cysto, urodynamics • Prostatectomy most common cause
Methods • Position: Dorsal lithotomy and place foley • Perineal incision • Dissect to bulbospongiosus muscle and split in the midline • Perform urethral dissection • Pass the transobturator needle pass bilaterally • Place sling and tension appropriately • Close perineal wound • Post-op: no heavy lifting for 4-6 wks
Mechanism of Action • restore proper anatomical position to augment or assist external sphincter • Proximal and cephalad displacement (3.5cm) • Important: Pre-op sphincter function • Circumferential coaptation
Results • 7 out of 11 patients (78.6%) who used 3 or more pads before surgery used 0-2 pads after surgery (p<.0082). • Nine patients (64.3%) improved to either 1-2 pads or 0 pads. • 7 out of 14 (50%) reported an improvement in bother. • Over 50% of the patients were at least moderately satisfied and that the procedure met their expectations. • No infections or erosions to date • One patient with prolonged UR that required urethrolysis
Conclusions • AdVanceTM male sling • encouraging option for mild-moderate UI • Low morbidity • How to optimize success rates? • good patient selection • appropriate pre-op work up. • Limitation • Longer follow-up vs AUS
