The Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Complex Situations – Summary
Margit M. Fisch, MD, FEAPU, FEBU, discusses the use of artificial urinary sphincters for the management of complex male Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) cases. She begins with a review of the body of data supporting the success rates of artificial urinary sphincters in straightforward cases.
Dr. Fisch then addresses the complications and their impact on the success of artificial urinary sphincter implantation, including:
- Comorbidities
- Post-Irradiation Status
- Post-Urethroplasty Status
- Reimplantation
- Use of Transcorporal Cuff
For each of these complications, Dr. Fisch demonstrates strategies and best practices for minimizing their impact on surgical and patient outcomes.
