Urinary incontinence

We mainly treat male incontinence after surgery or radiation therapy and patients with neurological disorders causing urinary incontinence.

For women with incontinence, we may offer treatment options for those having already undergone incontinence surgery without improvement and for women with incontinence following surgery or radiation therapy. 

Treatment for urinary incontinence depends on the type of incontinence, its severity, and the underlying cause. A combination of treatments may be needed. We offer a wide range of surgical and medical treatments for urinary incontinence. The treatment for the patient is customized to give the best results, and it is therefore of great importance that the pre-treatment investigations for urinary incontinence are meticulous. The pre-treatment workup includes assessing the bladder and sphincter function through cystoscopy and urodynamics. 

Our surgical treatment options include slings, ProACT ™, ATOMS, and the artificial urinary sphincter AMS 800™. For those with severe urinary incontinence where these surgical options may not be feasible, we can offer more extensive surgical treatments such as urinary diversions and bladder augmentations.
