Sling (or other treatment/prodedure) for climaturia following RP

Hey Doc, congratulations on your positive developments! No small feat making a comeback from all you’ve been through.
You seem like you are on a roll right now; I have not had this procedure but know a few women for whom it did not work. The anatomy is different but I think the procedure is the same.
My question is: how different is urine from semen? I mean, we all love it when we make a mess with the latter - the former, not so much!
Don’t mean to be flip, but why take a chance that an elective surgery might do more harm than good when you are almost fully continent now- except for climaturia?
Would a condom help?

The prostate cancer and the treatments/SEs really screwed up what was a great sex life. I've gone through the phases and I'm pretty much at acceptance.
I have some residual stress incontinence and wear a light pad all of the time. I was almost completely continent about a year after my RP but started leaking again after 37 pelvic radiation treatments for recurrent disease. It's manageable.
I very much doubt I would ever have any invasive procedure for incontinence/climacturia. In the big scheme, it's not that big a deal. Not interested in the risks and I've had my fill of surgery and procedures to last a lifetime (whatever is left!).
