Authors' objectives:
Male stress urinary incontinence frequently occurs following surgery of the prostate and often leads to a reduction in daily activities of affected patients. In this systematic review we assessed the efficacy and safety of male sling systems for male stress urinary incontinence.
Authors' recommendations:
Due to the uncontrolled study design of included case series, according to GRADE, the quality of evidence is very low. The evidence indicates that male sling systems are relatively safe and similar efficient as the artificial urinary sphincter and the microballoon. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion into the hospital benefit catalogue under restrictions. We suggest to perform the procedure in specialised centres only and to include patients into prospective, controlled, clinical trials. In addition, certain identified prognostic factors should influence the selection of patients, the respective procedure and the specific sling system.
