Transurethral collagen was injected in 35 men with grades III (22) and II (13) incontinence. Of the patients 7 became dry (20%), 11 improved (31.4%) and 17 were considered failures (48.6%). Abdominal leak point pressure increased and the number of pads needed decreased. In the failed group 4 patients had a history of pelvic irradiation, 5 urethral stricture disease and 3 bladder instability before injection. There was 1 case of temporary urinary retention as a complication. Transurethral collagen injection for male stress urinary incontinence is a reasonable option in select patients.

A detailed discussion of pelvic floor anatomy and physiology was presented earlier. There is no ideal approach or repair for POP. The choice of operation is made after careful consideration of a series of factors related to the patient’s anatomy, medical history, and goals of surgery. To further complicate matters, laparoscopic and robotic surgery are new techniques available to the pelvic reconstructive surgeon. These newer techniques will be discussed in detail in a later Chapter. Finally, the traditional view that hysterectomy is part of POP repair is being challenged.

The patient recovered with no incontinence, voiding dysfunction or dyspareunia. Incontinence should be anticipated with vesicovaginal fistulas involving the internal sphincter and repair should be tailored to include an organic suburethral sling.
