Have you ever considered that pelvic mesh ? I think that's what they call it? Suppose to be simple treatment in office and high rate of success. But that is just what I have read, don't know anyone who had it done.

The specialists I consulted believe that, given the severity of my incontinence, an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the preferred option rather than a sling. From my understanding, the male sling is one type of pelvic mesh procedure designed specifically to treat mild stress urinary incontinence.

It’s called the sling. It works well for some people and just OK for others. If you have radiation in the future, it can stop working.
Doctors recommend against doing it if you have had radiation.
