    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: To evaluate the efficacy of Bioceram injection in men with severe stress urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy.
Methods: A total of 18 patients underwent retrograde injection of Bioceram for severe stress urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. Evaluation by pad test, international consultation on the Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and American Urology Association Symptom Score - Quality of Life (AUASS-QOL) was performed before and after injection therapy. Patients were considered cured if they were using no pads or only one safety pad per day.
Results: Of 18 patients, 14 had received postoperative external beam radiation therapy. Furthermore, 5 patients required transurethral incision due to simultaneous stricture of the urethrovesical anastomosis. The baseline daily pad count changed from a mean of 6.1&#xB1; 0.8 to 5.3 &#xB1; 1.7 (p = 0.010). None of the patients were cured and only 3 patients showed signs of improvement following injection.
Conclusion: In patients with severe urinary incontinence, treatment with bulking agent injection is associated with modest efficacy.</abstract>
