Article Synopsis
- The study looked at men's experiences after getting an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) surgery again after having it fixed multiple times.
- Most men felt good about their initial surgery, but some didn't know the device needed future fixes and wanted better follow-up care.
- Overall, the AUS helped reduce how many pads they used for incontinence, showing it worked well for most of them.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how previous radiation therapy impacts the lifespan and failure rates of artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs) in men.
- It found that men with a history of radiation experienced significantly shorter times to device failure compared to those without (1.4 years vs. 3.5 years).
- Specifically, prior radiation dramatically increased the risk of erosion or infection related to the AUS but did not affect the risk of urethral atrophy or mechanical failures.

We examine the correlation of a spinal anesthesia-only technique on prostate cancer recurrence.
Methods: Charts from consecutive radical prostatectomy patients of 3 experienced urologists from January 1999 to December 2005 were reviewed.
Purpose: Little data exist on the outcome of combined inflatable penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincter insertion for erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence. We assessed patient outcomes for combined vs single device implantation at a single institution.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients who underwent inflatable penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincter insertion at our hospital from January 2000 to December 2011.
