The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been shown to be effective for UI due to intrinsic urethral sphincter deficiency (IUSD), and is a useful alternative when conservative interventions have failed. Implantation of an AUS is a commonly used surgical option for the management of male urethral deficiency especially, following prostatectomy. A clinical practice guideline for UI in adults by the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research (1992) recommends that post-prostatectomy patients wait at least 6 to 12 months before AUS placement, and try behavioral and pharmacologic therapies first. To be considered for AUS implantation, the patient must be motivated and have enough dexterity and ability to operate the device.
