For men with urinary incontinence that often follows prostate surgery, injections of collagen into the area of the urinary sphincter can improve short-term bladder control, according to a new study.The procedure is performed via the urinary outlet, the urethra, under local anesthesia. “Collagen is suitable in patients who do not wish a more invasive option,” Dr. O. Lenaine Westney from the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center told Reuters Health.
