Surgery for Male Stress Urinary Incontinence
- Conditions
- Male Stress Urinary Incontinence
- Interventions
- Device: Male slingDevice: Artificial urinary sphincter
- Registration Number
- NCT05771168
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this observational prospective study is to evaluate the success rate (cure plus improvement) of procedures for treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (artificial urinary sphincter or male slings) at 5 years of study follow-up and to determine other outcomes of surgical treatment for each of the devices and, to perform a prognostic factor analysis to identify clinical and surgical variables that correlate with (in)continence or revisions for each of the device subtypes. Cure is defined as urinary continence with no need for use of pads or the use of 1 light security pad; the improvement is defined as the reduction of≥ 50% of the number of pads with use of no more than two pads.
- Detailed Description
Through the use of a prospective registry, the investigators will collect information on patient characteristics, including age (years), weight (kg), length (cm), previous urological surgeries and other surgeries in the pelvic area, radiotherapeutic treatment of the prostate, and other co-morbidities. Also, if applicable, 24h pad test and preoperative urodynamic results, presence of pre-operative urinary tract infections, and results of preoperative cystoscopy will be reported.
The surgical procedure for treatment of male stress urinary incontinence is according to standard practice. For artificial urinary sphincters, the date and time of surgery, surgeon name, time of shaving, presence of skin wounds, type of prosthesis, cuff location, cuff size, pressure regulating balloon, type of preoperative antibiotics, type of associated procedures will be reported. For slings, similar data will be reported, including type of sling and if there was a release of central tendon.
The patients will fill in the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) Urinary Incontinence (UI) Short Form (ICIQ-UI Questionnaire SF), the EuroQol Group Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) for the evaluation of the impact of incontinence on Quality of Life, and the Sexual Complaints Screener for Men (SCS-M), the Dyadic Adjustment Scale Italian version (DAS), the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF-15) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire before the operation, at 12 weeks after surgery and at yearly intervals up to and including year 5. The results of questionnaires will be entered into the database.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Success rate (cure plus improvement) 5-years after surgery Will be obtained through patient 24-hour pad use. Cure rate is defined as urinary continence with no need for use of pads or the use of 1 light security pad.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Revision-free rate 5-years after surgery Evaluation of revision-free rate at 5 years of study follow-up
Time being revision-free 12-weeks, 12-months, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, 5-years Interval from the date of surgery to the date of revision.Patients who die will be censored at time of death. Overall time of being revision-free will be presented using the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Time being continent 12-weeks, 12-months, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, 5-years Interval being continent after surgery to the date of incontinence recurrence. Patients who die will be censored at time of death. Overall time of being continent will be presented using the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Patient-reported quality of life 12-weeks, 12-months, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, 5-years The change in the results of quality of life questionnaires (EuroQol Group EQ-5D-5L) compared with baseline over time and correlations with the primary outcome. EuroQol Group EQ-5D-5L describe health state with 5 levels (level 1 indicating no problem, level 2 indicating slight problems, level 3 indicating moderate problems, level 4 indicating severe problems, level 5 indicating unable to/extreme problems) and with a scale numbered from 0 to 100 (100 means the best health you can imagine and 0 means the worst health you can imagine)
Post-operative specific adverse events 12-weeks, 12-months, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, 5-years Post-operative specific adverse events related to the surgical procedure or the sling/sphincter (e.g. pump/reservoir/cuff failure, erosion of the device through the skin or urethra)
Post-operative general adverse events 12-weeks, 12-months, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, 5-years Post-operative general adverse events related to the surgical procedure or the sling/sphincter (e.g. urinary retention, scrotal hematoma, perineal pain, hematuria, or other general problems)
