ARGUS sling is a new surgical method for treatment of urinary incontinence in men after prostate surgeries. We evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new adjustable bulbourethral sling. It is also simple and effective method for treatment of male urinary incontinence. The development of new biomaterials has advanced and this is a set designed specially for men. Preliminary results are encouraging with higher continence success rate, but also due to more exact measuring of "leak point pressure" with minimal obstructive symptoms.
