Abstract:ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of the adjustable trans‐obturator male system (ATOMS®) to treat post‐prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) in radiated patients compared with non‐radiated patients, using propensity score‐matching analysis to enhance the validity of the comparison.Patients and methodsConsecutive men with PPI treated with silicone‐covered scrotal port ATOMS (A.M.I., Feldkirch, Austria) in nine different institutions between 2016 and 2022 were included. Preoperative a… Show more
“…have published a multi-institutional study including patients treated with ATOMS after radical prostatectomy combined with pelvic radiotherapy. This population of patients has a higher risk of incontinence and achieves worse results than patients treated with radical prostatectomy alone [ 10 , 11 ]. However, this article is useful to identify the population of patients treated with ATOMS at higher risks of achieving dryness.…”
