Mentoring in the context of a training programme for young unemployed adults with physical disability

We describe a modified method for antegrade placement of periurethral collagen in incontinent men. In this technique, a flexible cystoscope is used to guide the placement of a specially designed needle into the bladder neck and external sphincter region via an antegrade transvesical approach. The 19-gauge, 28-cm long needle is passed suprapubically without a sheath. The procedure may be performed with local anesthesia and intravenous sedation only and takes less than 30 minutes.
