Michael P. Feloney, MD

Michael P. Feloney, MD, focuses on Adjustable Continence Therapy (ACT) for women, specifically dual-balloon adjustable continence therapy. Dr. Feloney is noted for his experience with ACT, particularly during the initial investigational trials in the early 2000s. In this 12-minute presentation, Dr. Feloney describes the implantation procedure and provides photographs and graphics illustrating the correct placement of the silicone elastomer balloons.
A notable feature of this therapy is its adjustability. Once the balloons are in place, adjustments can be made post-operatively in the office, allowing for fine-tuning based on the patient’s response. Feloney emphasizes this advantage and its potential to enhance improved continence.
Dr. Felony addresses complication rates and notes that the rates of intraoperative perforations decrease with increased experience. The therapy, currently approved in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, shows promise as a minimally invasive option for women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence who have failed previous surgeries.
