Abstract
This report deals with 720 incontinent males injected with Polytef paste. In all cases the incontinence resulted from some form of prostatic surgery. All patients had been incontinent for at least 1 year. Approximately 88% of patients incontinent from transurethral resection (TURP) were cured or improved; 74% of patients undergoing prostatectomy were improved, and approximately 67% of patients incontinent after radical prostatectomy were cured or improved. No major complications or clinical evidence of particle migration were observed. Our 20 plus years' experience with Polytef paste has shown it to be a safe and effective method for the treatment of post-operative male incontinence, with a high success rate.Keywords
