58 year old, seven years after prostectomy, otherwise healthy, not overweight.
Pad-a-day incontinence.
Due to less than satisfactory experience with several urologists/urology departments (and some other interfering events), I've been reluctant to pursue, let alone try, surgery again.
How successful is the male sling--when I checked about a year after surgery, the surgeon started off quoting about 70% success rate, but it sounded more like maybe 50-50 by the end of the conversation, and considering the original surgeon said there was only a 2% chance of incontinence in the first place (might have been different if he had read my chart first, but that didn't happen until after the surgery, if at all), I wasn't happy with the odds. I've read there's now a newer technique, and have been trying to gather at least background information before pursuing it.
Is there someplace I can find some relatively unbiased information, i.e., not the manufacturer's web site.
