Abstract:
The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been used for the treatment of various incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency, and is considered as the gold standard treatment for incontinence after a prostatectomy. The long-term satisfaction rates exceed 80%, but almost a third of patients with AUS require revision surgery within 5 years. This paper reviewed the common complications of AUS implantation and the treatment.
