Abstract

Several therapeutic options have been proposed for patients with recurrent or persistent post--prostatectomy urinary incontinence due to urethral atrophy: changing the balloon reservoir for a higher pressure one, downsizing the cuff diameter, or increasing the amount of fluid in the system (1-3). Theoretically, a transcorporal cuff could possibly provide some supplementary bulk of tissue to the circumference of the urethra, possibly decreasing the risk of erosion (4).
