No radiation. Complete prostatectomy 14 months ago. Uncontrolled leaking. Surgery is in the near future, just deciding which way to go. Bladder sling or AUS.

A lot of people that have prostatectomy end up needing salvage radiation within a few years. It took me 3 1/2.

If you do need radiation, then the sling may not continue to work well, I don’t know.

Here is a talk by a doctor that is a specialist in incontinence. It covers all the devices.

It would probably make sense to contact the doctor Humberto Villarreal to try to get more information. He is in Southern California.
