Treatments for Prostate Cancer Complications

If you experience urinary issues, scarring or complications from radiation therapy or from prostate cancer surgery, although relatively rare, you’ll want to talk with the expert urologists and urologic surgeons at OU Health about your situation and options.

• Male incontinence – Urinary leakage related to muscles damaged from prostate-related treatments; options may include:
  • Male sling – For mild leakage; small incision under scrotum provides access to wrap sling around urethral area for increased resistance
  • Adjustable balloon – Minimally invasive, X-ray-guided procedure to place small adjustable balloon device (UroMedica’s ProACT) in position of removed prostate to add resistance; tiny ports within scrotum allow adjustment based on degree of incontinence
  • Artificial urinary sphincter – Placement of Boston Scientific AMS 800 device, the current gold standard for moderate to severe urinary stress incontinence; 1-2 small incisions under or through scrotum to place cuff around urethra for stable compression to minimize leakage; tiny control pump and reservoir inside scrotum allows fluid movement from cuff for voiding; typical hospital stay of less than one day
• Bladder neck contractures – Scarring within the prostate area that creates difficulty with urination following prostate surgery or radiation; diagnosed by looking inside the bladder with cystoscopy procedure; treatment may include:
  • Transurethral incision of bladder neck (TUIBNC) to open the area; procedure may be repeated or augmented with medication injections for recurring issue
  • Urinary diversion for rare instances; requires complete bladder removal or bladder neck reconstruction surgery
