Data on 24\u2010h pad weight tests (PWT), validated quality of life questionnaires (I\u2010QoL), surgical technique, related complications, salvage radiation and transcorporeal cuff placement (TC) were collected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The TP approach was performed in 43 cases, whilst 136 patients underwent TS incision, of which 31 benefited from TC placement. The median PWT reduction was 458\u2009g (320, 701) in the TP and 479\u2009g (258, 745) in the TS group (p\u2009=\u20090.807). The median I\u2010QoL index increase was 40 (26, 52) in the TP and 48 (36, 60) in the TS group, showing a significant difference in favour of the TS group (p\u2009=\u20090.012). The overall postoperative infection rate was 3.9%, with a lower risk in the TS group (RR\u2009=\u00a00.23, p\u2009=\u20090.049). Erosion occurred in 9.0% of patients, with a higher relative risk observed in the TS group (<jats:italic>RR\u2009=\u00a01.34, p\u2009=\u20090.636<\/jats:italic>); however, we found that the TC patients (consisting of salvage radiation patients) in the TS group drove this higher risk.
