ABSORBABLE VERSUS NONABSORBABLE GRAFT: OUTCOME OF BONE ANCHORED MALE SLING FOR POST-RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY INCONTINENCE

The absorbable sling materials that were used for the bone anchored male sling demonstrated disintegration of the material. Autolysis of these absorbable materials removed active compression forces on the urethra after a short period. Nonabsorbable graft is associated with the best outcome following the perineal bone anchored male sling procedure.
