Artificial Urinary Sphincter After Prostatectomy: When Is It Needed?

Did you know that an Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) can be one of the most effective solutions for urinary incontinence after a prostatectomy?

This can result in complete loss of control over urine flow, known as urinary incontinence.
