How does this mesh or bladder band for urinary incontinence work?
During this procedure, the patient is taken to an operating room and an expert surgeon in this type of treatment inserts a band (or mesh) made of synthetic material inside the man’s pelvis, around the urethra, slightly compressing it and “pulling” it to that it takes on a different shape and the urine flow is occluded.
The urinary incontinence mesh supports the neck of the bladder which, in most cases, is hypotonic and without resistance to urine. For this reason the patient loses urine even when he does not want to.
The urethra is a single tube that carries urine stored in the bladder to the penis and the urethral opening at the tip of the limb during the voluntary action of urination.
If urine drips or comes out through the penis while the patient is not urinating, this is known as urinary incontinence and constitutes a pathology that should be evaluated by a urologist (that is, a specialist of the urinary tract in the men and women, and the pathologies that could appear in this region).

When is bladder mesh indicated?
Bladder mesh is indicated as a definitive and radical surgical option in cases of male urinary incontinence in which conservative treatments such as medication and pelvic floor exercises were not effective and, therefore, the patient continues to present the problem.
In fact, and contrary to what you might think, involuntary urine leakage does not remain stable over time but tends to get worse.
Some patients begin by experiencing a discreet leakage of urine while walking, sleeping or working, but after a few months, years and even decades, the loss of urine and lack of control over urinary function becomes greater until the patient can discharge everything. the contents of the bladder in pants or bed.
This treatment is special in those patients s who developed urinary incontinence after prostate surgery because, while the gland or part of it (affected with cancer) is removed, the nerves to the penis and the bladder muscles are very often injured. In this case, urinary incontinence appears suddenly and is irreversible, but bladder mesh can be helpful.
