Urethral pressure controlled balloon refilling or balloon change for artificial sphincter secondary procedure?

CONCLUSION: Balloon repressurizing is associated with a higher erosion and reoperation rate than changing pressure balloon. Continence results seem better when PRB is changed. It could be an alternative instead of changing all devices in patients with frail urethra. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4. PMID: 29217348 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
