Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to obtain surgical technique data for use in physician education and training and to collect early clinical outcomes data for future publication.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A multi-center study conducted under a common implant and follow-up protocol. The study will collect pre-operative urologic testing, medical history and subject quality of life (Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire). Intra-operative procedural data will be collected.

Pad weight and incontinence severity rating (using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ)) will be used to characterize continence status.

Post-operative complications, urologic testing, and subject quality of life will be collected at six weeks and three, six, 12, and 24 months.

AMS Transobturator Male Sling System

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The AMS Male Transobturator Sling System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The AMS Male Transobturator Sling System was developed to treat urinary stress incontinence in men resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) secondary to radical prostatectomy. The Male Transobturator Sling System procedure is minimally invasive and consists of using two single-use needle passers and passing them through two small incisions over the obturator foramen. The needles are pushed in an arc through the tissue and exited at a perineal incision. Once the passers are through the perineal incision, the Sling System mesh arms are attached to the needles which are then pulled back through the needle track to their points of origin over the obturator foramen. The Sling System is subsequently tensioned and all incisions are closed.
