Abstract

Surgery for urinary incontinence is indicated after failure of conservative treatment with pelvic floor therapy. Different sling systems are the established treatment option for urinary incontinence for female and male patients. Tension-free vaginal tapes represent the standard of care in the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. In male patients with mild or moderate stress urinary incontinence, fixed repositioning slings or adjustable compressive slings represent minimally invasive alternatives to the artificial urinary sphincter. The use of surgical mesh material has been widely discussed within the last years. The current US Food and Drug Administration warning was focused on the use of transvaginal mesh implants in female patients with pelvic organ prolapse. Within the current debate, surgery for stress urinary incontinence and surgery for pelvic organ prolapse have often not been differentiated. With this ongoing discussion about the use of foreign material in reconstructive surgery, laparoscopic colposuspension might be performed more often in the near future.
