N2 - AIMS: To assess efficacy and safety as well as predictive factors of dry rate and freedom from surgical revision in patients underwent AUS placement. T2 - results of a large multi-institutional cohort of patients with mid-term follow-up T1 - Efficacy and safety of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) Moreover previous incontinence surgery and low institutional case-load are negatively associated to efficacy and safety outcomes.', Moreover institutional case-load was positively associated with dry rate (OR: 1.18 p=0.005) and freedom from revision (OR: 1.51 p=0.00).CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that AUS is an effective option for the treatment of SUI after prostate surgery. Logistic regression analysis showed that patients without previous incontinence surgery had a higher probability to be dry after AUS implantation (OR: 0.51, p=0.03). At 32 months mean follow-up overall dry rate and surgical revision were 58% and 30.7%, respectively. Multivariable analyses were performed in order to investigate possible predictors of the aforementioned outcomes.RESULTS: Eight hundred ninety-two men had primary AUS implantation. Efficacy data (continence rate, based on pad usage) and safety data (revision rate in case of infection and erosion, as well as atrophy or mechanical failure) were collected.

Only primary cases of AUS implantation in non-neurogenic SUI after prostate surgery, with a follow-up of at least one year were included.

However, data reporting efficacy and safety from large series are lacking.METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 16 centers in Europe and USA. The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is still considered the standard for the treatment of moderate to severe post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Moreover previous incontinence surgery and low institutional case-load are negatively associated to efficacy and safety outcomes.Ībstract = 'AIMS: To assess efficacy and safety as well as predictive factors of dry rate and freedom from surgical revision in patients underwent AUS placement.
