Male stress urinary incontinence is predominantly iatrogenic, whereby radical prostatectomy is the most frequent cause. The first-line treatment of postoperative stress urinary incontinence is physiotherapy, in which training of pelvic floor muscles and sphincter play a major role. If conservative treatment fails surgical treatment is recommended. Nowadays, various options are available for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence in men. Therefore, every patient with persistent postoperative urinary incontinence with psychological strain and desire for treatment should be offered surgical treatment. The selection of the surgical method should primarily be made depending on the contraindications.
