Abstract

Implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter is the most studied and most effective method of surgical treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence in men. If urethral erosion develops at the cuff site, it is only possible to restore the device’s function and regain the previous level of quality of life through a multi-stage procedure.

This paper describes a clinical case of multistage treatment of a patient with urethral erosion at the site of the artificial urinary sphincter cuff and provides a review of the literature.
