The Andrología Barcelona specialist presents a multicenter study on an adjustable artificial urinary sphincter and participates as a speaker in an international session on robotic urinary tract reconstruction.
Dr. Lluís Peri, a specialist in urology and reconstructive surgery at Andrología Barcelona, participated in the International Continence Society (ICS) Annual Meeting 2026, held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from October 6 to 9.
The ICS Annual Meeting is one of the leading international scientific events dedicated to urinary incontinence, functional urology, and pelvic floor disorders. It brings together specialists from around the world to discuss the latest research, emerging technologies, and innovative treatment approaches aimed at improving patients’ quality of life.
Advances in the Treatment of Male Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prostatectomy
One of Dr. Peri’s scientific contributions was the presentation of the poster “Early Multicenter Experience with the Adjustable Artificial Sphincter VICTO in the Treatment of Severe Male Stress Urinary Incontinence” (Abstract #823).
This international multicenter study, involving specialists from several Spanish and Italian institutions, explores the initial clinical experience with the VICTO adjustable artificial urinary sphincter for treating severe male stress urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is a potential complication following radical prostatectomy, a surgical procedure commonly performed to treat prostate cancer. In severe cases, it can significantly affect patients’ daily activities, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Artificial urinary sphincters are an established surgical treatment option for selected patients with severe urinary incontinence. The development of adjustable devices such as VICTO represents an important area of research aimed at personalizing treatment and optimizing urinary control.
The presentation of this multicenter experience contributes to the growing scientific discussion surrounding innovative surgical solutions for male urinary incontinence.
International Speaker on Robotic Urinary Tract and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
In addition to presenting his research, Dr. Lluís Peri participated as a speaker in the international roundtable “Robotic Urinary Tract and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery”, held on October 9.
His contribution focused on the surgical management of vesicovaginal fistulas, a complex reconstructive condition that may require advanced surgical techniques.
The session brought together internationally recognized specialists, including Michel Wyndaele, Luis López-Fando Lavalle, Benoit Peyronnet, Bradley Gill, Ivilina Pandeva, and Véronique Phé.
Robotic surgery is playing an increasingly important role in complex urinary tract and pelvic reconstruction. Its enhanced visualization, precision, and minimally invasive approach offer potential advantages in carefully selected patients.
Dr. Peri’s participation in this international scientific forum reflects his involvement in the advancement and exchange of knowledge in functional and reconstructive urology.
Commitment to Innovation and Patient Quality of Life
Andrología Barcelona’s presence at ICS 2026 reflects its commitment to scientific excellence, international collaboration, and continuous professional development.
Participation in major international conferences allows specialists to share clinical experiences, discuss emerging technologies, and contribute to the development of increasingly personalized treatments.
The ultimate goal remains improving urinary continence, restoring patient confidence, and enhancing quality of life.
