This canadian review states
“RECENT FINDINGS: Medium-term follow-up (mean 3-4 years) of patients treated with bone-anchored slings has been recently published, suggesting a success rate (cured or improved) of 70-80%. Short-term follow-up (mean of 6-12 months) of transobturator retrourethral slings demonstrates a success rate of 62-83%. Novel sling designs include mechanisms to manipulate the tension postoperatively and inside-out transobturator trocar passage”
“Complications include mesh infection, de-novo detrusor overactivity (which can be managed with anticholinergics), elevated postvoid residual (which usually resolves with short period of catheterization), and perineal pain, which is temporized with non-narcotic analgesics and resolves in 2–3 months”.
This is well studied – I have included the list of studies here” CURED
Comment – Incontinence should not be a major issue in prostate cancer with such a simple procedure available.
