Background: When conservative management fails, patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are considered for surgical treatment. Simpler, more economical and less invasive surgical techniques, such as the Remeex® system, have been developed. Objectives: To analyze the objective effectiveness of the Remeex® system in the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence. To study survival and complication rates of the Remeex® system in male SUI patients. Materials and methods: Prospective observational study between July 2015 and May 2020. Group A (n = 7; GA) patients with mild SUI. Group B (n = 22; GB) patients with moderate SUI. Group C (n = 18; GC) patients with severe SUI. Effectiveness was assessed by the number of patients achieving complete and partial dryness. Complete dryness was defined as patients using 0–1 safety pads per day; partial dryness as a >50% reduction in the number of pads used. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test. Chi2, Fisher’s exact test, ANOVA, and multivariate analysis. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Mean age 69.76 years, mean follow-up 33.52 months. Objective effectiveness was observed in 89.36% of patients with incontinence. The effectiveness was 85.71% in GA, 90.91% in GB and 88.89% in GC. There were no significant differences among groups (p = 1.0000). 34.04% of patients with an implant required at least one readjustment, while 66.00% did not require any. There were no significant differences among groups (p = 0.113) Chi2 = 4.352. 95.74% of implants remained in place by the end of follow-up. We observed complications in 17.02% of patients. Conclusions: Remeex® system is an effective and safe method for male stress urinary incontinence treatment, regardless of the severity of the incontinence, with high survival and low complication and removal rates. System readjustments are required in one-third of the cases.

Background/Objectives: Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgical treatment has changed since its beginning. Selecting materials that promote constructive tissue remodelling helps to maintain continence after surgery and minimizes complications. To analyze the long-term urinary continence results in women who underwent SUI surgical correction using the transobturator mid-urethral sling KIM system® (Knotless Incontinence Mesh) and analyze the complications associated with this SUI treatment. Materials and Methods: Prospective study of the first 1000 patients undergoing SUI surgery with the Contasure KIM® sling between April 2007 and December 2018. Results and complications were recorded. Group A represented 94.2% of the sample and were the continent patients after surgery (GA = 942), while Group B accounted for incontinent patients after surgery (5.8%) (GB = 58). Results: The mean age at operation was 60 years. Eutocic deliveries (p = 0.0022), high blood pressure (p = 0.0190), anxiety (p = 0.0084), hemorrhoidectomies (p = 0.0016) and hysterectomies (p = 0.0002) were higher in GB. No differences between groups were found regarding body mass index (GA 26.50; GB 26.93) (p = 0.220649), food or drug allergies (p = 0.0.6547), dystocia (p = 0.2365), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.1715), pelvic surgery (p = 0.8842), other surgery (p = 0.8801) or concomitant treatments that would have an impact on bladder function. Correction of SUI was achieved in 94.2% of cases. Continence persisted over time in 97.98% of continent patients at 4-year follow-up and 90.90% of patients at last follow-up. Mesh caused erosion of the urethra in 0.3% of patients and extruded to the vagina in 0.42%. De novo urinary urgency (2.8%), significant chronic pain (3.6%) and urinary tract infections (3.0%) after surgery were lower than complications reported in reviewed publications. Pain was treated with medication, and all patients were pain-free at the one-year follow-up visit. Conclusions: The mid-urethral transobturator sling KIM system® has good initial and long-term results in patients with stress urinary incontinence, with a low recurrence rate and minimal complications.
