Mp46-14 Invalidation of the Practice of Adding Fluid to the Ams 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter Pressure Regulating Balloon

Abstract

Regarding the surgical procedure, duration of perioperative antibiotics prophylaxis significantly effected long-term pain rates (p¼0.036), patient satisfaction rates (p¼0.007), and correlated significantly with reduced IQOL scores (R¼-0.531, p<0.001). Surgical approach, catheter size and indwelling time, and intraoperative complications had no significant effect on the analyzed endpoints.CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to analyze long-term effects of perioperative complications on favorable outcomes after AUS implantation. We show that perioperative morbidity does not lead to less favorable long-term results and therefore reassure both implanting surgeon and patient. Since duration of antibiotic prophylaxis had a negative effect on AUS outcomes, our results advocate a more restrictive use of perioperative antibiotics.
