Improved artificial urinary sphincter outcomes using a transcorporal cuff placement in patients with a "fragile urethra".
CONCLUSIONS: AUS insertion is an effective treatment option for post-prostatectomy incontinence in the setting of a fragile urethra. Transcorporal cuff placement in this subset of patients may be recommended, as it is associated with lower revision and erosion rates compared to standard cuff placement.
