Abstract
Objectives

To relate our experience in treating postprostatectomy stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with the male Remeex system (MRS). We also list the elements that comprise this system, the implantation technique and its proper adjustment. Similarly, we attempt to determine whether the latest changes made to this device, which constitute the MRS-II, have resulted in fewer mesh readjustments.

Material and method

From March 2007 to March 2014, we operated on 24 men with postprostatectomy SUI between the ages of 55 and 78 years (mean, 67 years), through the placement of a Remeex suburethral tension-adjustable sling. All patients had severe urinary incontinence, with considerable impact on their quality of life.

Results

All patients, except for 2 who required the removal of the system, remained continent. Nine of the patients (39%) occasionally required incontinence pads when performing intense physical exercise. The mean number of adjustments was 2.4 (range 0–6). The score on the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ 7) performed before the surgery and 6 months after, went from 79±7 points to 11±3, with a very high degree of satisfaction.

Conclusions

The MRS is a valid therapeutic option for postprostatectomy incontinence and is a reproducible technique that is easy to perform, has a low rate of complications and provides excellent and lasting results. There is also a clear trend toward reducing number of adjustments with the new MRS-II.

Resumen
Objetivos

Poner de manifiesto nuestra experiencia en el tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) posprostatectomía con el sistema Remeex masculino (SRM). Asimismo, describimos los elementos que componen dicho sistema, técnica de implantación y su adecuado ajuste. Igualmente, pretendemos comprobar si las últimas modificaciones realizadas en dicho dispositivo, que constituye el SRM-II, han supuesto un menor número de reajustes de la malla.

Material y método

Desde marzo de 2007 hasta marzo de 2014 hemos intervenido a 24 varones afectos de IUE posprostatectomía con edades comprendidas entre 55 y 78 años (media 67 años), mediante la colocación de una malla suburetral de tensión regulable tipo Remeex. Todos ellos presentaban una incontinencia urinaria severa con gran afectación de su calidad de vida.

Resultados

Todos los pacientes, excepto en 2 casos que precisaron retirada del sistema, se mantienen secos, necesitando ocasionalmente 9 de ellos (39%) compresa de seguridad si realizan ejercicio físico intenso. El número medio de reajustes fue de 2,4 (rango 0–6). La puntuación del Incontinence Impact Questionnaire realizado antes de la intervención y 6 meses después pasa de 79±7 puntos a 11±3, siendo el grado de satisfacción muy elevado.

Conclusiones

El SRM constituye una opción terapéutica válida para la incontinencia posprostatectomía, siendo una técnica reproducible, de fácil ejecución, con una baja tasa de complicaciones, proporcionando unos resultados excelentes y duraderos. Asimismo, parece existir una clara tendencia a la disminución del número de reajustes con el nuevo SRM-II.
