Long-term functional outcomes and patient satisfaction of artificial urinary sphincter implantation for male non-neurogenic incontinence: a retrospective study of 30-year experience in a tertiary centre Schillebeeckx C1, Deruyver Y1, Beels E1, De Ridder D1, Van der Aa F1 1. University Hospitals Leuven KEYWORDS: Male, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Quality of Life (QoL), Questionnaire The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been used since 1972 to treat severe urinary incontinence [1] and to date the AMS800 AUS (Boston Scientific) is still the most widely used device. Although AUS implant surgery has proven to be a reliable clinical option for male non-neurogenic incontinence, it is clear that robust scientific data about its exact efficacy, complication profile and long-term patient satisfaction rates are still lacking. In this study we want to share our 30-year experience with AUS implants in a tertiary referral center. We retrospectively analyzed implant survival and revision-free survival. Long-term functional outcomes and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Also, for all outcomes we wanted to identify potential risk factors for failure.
