Three-Year Follow-Up Study of the Virtue Male Sling System for Treating Male Stress Urinary Incontinence

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are monitoring the use of the Virtue4 Male Sling System in men with stress urinary incontinence following prostate surgery. This observational study aims to collect medical data on the devices effectiveness and safety over 12 and 36 months after implantation. The study is conducted in multiple centers across Europe and focuses on real-world use by experienced urologists. The Virtue4 Male Sling is an implantable device made of polypropylene mesh designed to support the urethra and help manage urinary incontinence caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency. This study involves men who have already received the sling during routine clinical care. Follow-up includes visits at baseline before implantation, between 1 and 3 months post-operation, and at 12 months, with additional annual questionnaires sent out at 24 and 36 months. Participants will undergo routine clinical assessments, including questionnaires about their urinary symptoms and quality of life, pad weight testing, uroflowmetry, and measurement of urine remaining after voiding at several points during the study. Researchers will monitor patient-reported improvement and any adverse events at 12 months. The study extends to 36 months with ongoing questionnaires to track long-term outcomes and satisfaction. Participation involves regular clinical visits and mailed surveys over three years.
