Surgical treatment of male stress urinary incontinence: a knot still to be unravelled

In the interesting pilot study by Shaw et al., interviews and surveys were administered to patients undergoing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery along with clinical assessment to explore the reasons that led the patients to undergo surgery (1). Aim of the study was to assess the applicability of their method of data collection to a larger cohort of patients for better understanding the motivational drive that attracts patients to surgery and, ultimately, better understand how to improve shared decision making and reduce the well-known undertreatment that affects post surgical SUI.
