The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment for severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI). According to the literature, patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) or stroke (ST) show adverse continence outcomes after prostate surgery and, therefore, constitute a challenging cohort for continence surgery.

Radical prostatectomy is the most common reason for male stress urinary incontinence. There is still insecurity about its therapeutic management.

To evaluate current evidence regarding therapy of postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI).

To determine whether salvage artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation after prior incontinence surgery achieves outcomes comparable to primary AUS implantation.

We retrospectively evaluated data of patients undergoing AUS implantation from 2009 to 2014.

The objective of this study is to describe a standardized less invasive approach in patients with artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) explantation due to cuff erosion and analyze success and urethral stricture rates out of a prospective database.
