The desire for an adjustable surgery for male stress urinary incontinence that avoids further surgery has produced a percutaneous adjustable device. The adjustable continence therapy (ProACT) consists of two balloons, placed bilaterally at the bladder neck after prostatectomy. Titanium ports, attached via tubing to each balloon are placed in the scrotum allowing for volume adjustments of the balloons at any time perioperatively and postoperatively. This paper examines the evolution of the technique and the impact of this progression on patient outcomes.
