Abstract:PurposeWe present a novel AUS implantation technique using a single perineal incision for single device placement or in combination with an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP). Urinary and sexual dysfunction following the management of prostate cancer has a significant impact on the quality of life of our patients. While there are marginal changes in the prosthetic devices, we strive to reduce post-operative morbidity while maximizing efficacy.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of 6 p… Show more
“…AUS placement remains the gold standard for post- prostatectomy incontinence patients (1). Traditional studies have illustrated the use of a counter-incision for PRB placement, and only a few small series have described a single perineal incision approach to AUS placement (9). This study represents the largest series to our knowledge utilizing this novel approach and highlights its feasibility and practicality as an alternative method of AUS placement, with comparable complication rates, and provides excellent cosmetic results with no visible groin incisions.…”

“…In this study, we propose a novel and accessible single perineal incision technique that may be less morbid and has been used at our center for many years as only a few small series have been published on this technique (9).…”
reported satisfaction rates of 87-90% in long-term followup (3). Since its introduction, use of AUS has also expanded to the management of SUI caused by transurethral procedures, radiation therapy, intrinsic sphincter deficiency, neurogenic bladder, congenital disorders, and orthotopic neobladder urinary diversion (4,5).The standard device, the AMS 800 AUS, is traditionally implanted using a combined perineal and abdominal approach, which requires two incisions: a perineal incision for placement of the cuff, and a suprapubic incision for
