Delayed Sigmoid Colon Erosion by Artificial Urinary Sphincter Tubing

A 65-year-old male presents with groin discomfort from a left inguinal hernia. He has a history of prostate cancer status-post radiation therapy and prostatic stenosis treated with urethroplasty. He subsequently developed severe urinary incontinence and underwent artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement in 2016. The AUS was replaced in June 2020 due to mechanical failure; he has since experienced no issues and maintained excellent continence.
