Abstract

Only a few surgical treatments are available for male urinary stress incontinence and artificial urinary sphincter remains the reference treatment. It is associated with a certain morbidity and specific technical limitations and can therefore not always be used in a given patient. Stimulated graciloplasty could constitute a useful alternative treatment in exceptional situations. The objective of this study was to review the technique, the indications already defined apart from urinary incontinence and the results of stimulated graciloplasty in urology.
