[Intraurethral Macroplastic injections in the treatment of urinary incontinence after prostatic surgery].

Abstract

We believe that intraurethral injections still have a place in the therapeutic armamentarium for incontinence after prostatic surgery with satisfactory initial results, which unfortunately deteriorate after 3 months. Our study confirms the value of Macroplastique compared to other substances. It is difficult to define the predictive factors of failure, but a closure pressure greater than 30 cm H2O remains essential. Finally, an interval of at least 3 months should be observed before repeating this procedure in the case of an insufficient result.
