All patients were fully evaluated, including a questionnaire (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire\u2010Short Form, ICIQ\u2010SF, range 0\u201321), endoscopy, and urodynamic evaluation. The Argus system comprises a 4.2\u2003\u00d7\u20032.6 \u00d7\u200a0.9\u2003cm thick silicone foam pad for soft bulbar urethral compression. The pad is attached to the silicone cone columns that, after being passed with needles from the perineum to the abdominal wall, are adjusted with silicone washers to regulate and keep the desired tension against the urethra. The pad and washers are radio\u2010opaque, which allows their position to be assessed during follow\u2010up. The surgical technique was one described previously, with some modifications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At a mean (range) follow\u2010up of 7.5\u2003(1\u201317.5) months, 35 (73%) of the 48 patients were dry, five (10%) were improved, and eight (17%) were incontinent, including four (8%) who needed sling adjustment. The mean (range) ICIQ\u2010SF improved from 19.2\u2003(12\u201321) to 4\u2003(0\u201321). There were three (6%) urethral perforations during surgery that were resolved by re\u2010passing the needle. The sling was removed in three men (6%) due to erosion and in two (4%) due to infection. Seven (15%) cases of acute urinary retention resolved spontaneously, except for one that needed the sling loosening. No cases of chronic retention were reported. There was perineal discomfort and mild dysuria soon after surgery that resolved spontaneously after a few weeks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This new adjustable male sling safely and effectively controls sphincter incontinence in men after prostate surgery, with an acceptably low complication rate.
