A simple and less invasive treatment for SUI in these patients is urgently needed. Deflux is a viscous gel that consists of a mixture of sodium hyaluronate and dextranomer beads. It is administered by transurethral approach for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux. In this study, we aim to establish a minimally invasive treatment for post-prostatectomy SUI through transurethral Deflux injection.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We will perform a single-center, exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transurethral injection of Deflux for SUI after RARP. Inclusion criteria are patients with SUI, a urine leakage volume between 15 and 500\u00a0g in a 24-h pad test, and those who use more than two pads per day. Five patients are scheduled to be enrolled in this pilot study. Deflux is injected endoscopically at the 3 o\u2019clock and 9 o\u2019clock positions in the submucosa until coaptation of submucosal bulking is achieved from both intraurethral sides. The primary endpoint is safety following Deflux injection. The secondary endpoint is efficacy on both SUI volume and patients\u2019 QOL.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n
