Abstract

This in-depth analysis of the literature provides a 2023
update on the crucial function of artificial urinary
sphincters (AUS) in the treatment of female
incontinence. This review illustrates the tremendous
advancements in AUS technology, particularly the
introduction of flexible cuff pressure and occlusive cuff
techniques, which have considerably improved
treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. It draws
on the most recent research from the last ten years.
