What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of the Virtue® Male Sling System in men suffering from post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. It involves a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional follow-up of patients who have received the sling, with assessments conducted at baseline, 1-3 months, and 12 months post-implantation. Patients will also complete questionnaires annually for two additional years to monitor their progress and outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are men who have been implanted with the Virtue® Male Sling System for urinary incontinence.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have the Virtue® Male Sling implanted or those whose indication for implantation is not related to male urinary incontinence may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness and safety of the Virtue® Male Sling, potentially improving treatment options for men with urinary incontinence.

How similar studies have performed: While this study is focused on a specific device, similar observational studies have shown success in monitoring the effectiveness of surgical interventions for urinary incontinence.
