The prevalence of bladder cancer (BC) in neurological patients seems to be similar to that of the general population. However, they are more aggressive with a higher rate of muscle-invasive forms and squamous cells carcinomas.

The aim of the study was to report the very long-term functional outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in male neurological patients.

Male neurological patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence due to sphincter deficiency and undergoing AUS (AMS 800(®)) implantation between 1985 and 1992 were enrolled.

Urinary prostheses for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence ranged from simple to adjustable bulbourethral compressing devices to complex artificial urinary sphincter. Those devices have remarkably evolved since the 1950s.
