Sling or artificial urinary sphincter after prostate cancer
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This registry study follows men who have ongoing “stress” urine leakage after prostate cancer treatment and choose a sling or an artificial urinary sphincter. It aims to better understand outcomes and quality of life, and your care team uses check-in visits and questionnaires to track progress.

This pilot study tests a surgically implanted device designed to help women with severe stress urinary incontinence (uncontrolled urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise) who have not benefited from physical therapy or previous surgery. The device works like an artificial sphincter to help control urine flow.
This study follows men who have the Virtue male sling to collect longer-term experience through questionnaires and medical data review. It may help improve how this sling is used and understood over time.
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
This study checks whether an implanted device called ARTUS® can safely and effectively reduce persistent urine leakage in men with severe stress incontinence. You may qualify if your symptoms have been present for over a year and you can attend follow-up visits and manage the device remote control.
This study looks at men who are having surgery for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exerting yourself) using devices like a sling or artificial urinary sphincter. It will follow how patients do after surgery using questionnaires, to understand benefits and experiences.
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
