Urinary bladder vascularized allograft transplantation in humans is currently extensively being investigated worldwide, owing to the theoretical potential of this approach as a therapeutic option for individuals with end-stage, non-oncological bladder conditions or congenital bladder pathologies. To date, a successful attempt at urinary bladder autotransplantation was carried out in a heart-beating brain-dead research human donor.

Background And Objective: The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) remains the gold standard for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, highly complex patients such as those with bulbar urethral compromise, bladder pathology, and lower urinary complications pose a particular challenge for the surgeon. In this article, we will address critical risk factors and synthesize existent data across relevant disease states to support surgeons in successful management of SUI in high-risk patients.
