When surgical measures do not solve the problem,incontinence may be managed by a variety of measures,including intermittent catheterization,indwelling urethral catheterization,suprapubic catheters,external collection systems (such as condom catheters),protective pads and garments,or pelvic organ support devices such as a pessary.The pessary may be useful in managing this patient's stress incontinence.The patient should utilize protective pads and garments.An indwelling catheter may or may not be necessary for this patient.There is no indication that the patient will require another surgery,especially since the previous two surgeries have not eliminated episodes on incontinence.
