OBJECTIVES: We want to show our experience with paraurethral balloon implantation in the treatment of mole urinary incontinence.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our series from March 2003 to March 2007, including 69 mole patients with urinary incontinence, most of them offer radical prostatectomy.RESULTS: 6 patients did not hove their first follow-up visit offer surgery Mean follow-up was 22 months (3-48). 57.14% of the patients (36/63 do not need pads, and 12.69% use one safety pod (8/63); therefore 69.83% (44/63) of the patients are dry or use one safety pod, If we stratify patients by incontinence severity, 81.25% of the patients with mild incontinence and 59.25% with moderate incontinence are dry Nevertheless only 35% of the patients with severe incontinence are dry (no protection).CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, we believe that paraurethral balloon implantation could be the first therapeutic option for mild and moderate male urinary incontinence.
