Prostate Cancer Survivors Who Suffer From Urinary Incontinence Benefit from New Sling Procedure

A routine check-up for a businessman three years ago revealed prostate cancer. The cancer was caught in time, but a side effect of his successful surgery was "driving him nuts." Losing urine control because of coughing, laughing, sneezing, or lifting is both frustrating and debilitating for the more than 2 million men worldwide afflicted with the condition. Many of these men are prostate-cancer survivors, having undergone surgery for the treatment of their cancer with the often unavoidable outcome of a damaged urinary sphincter.
