Which revision strategy is the best for non-mechanical failure of male artificial urinary sphincter?
ConclusionsAUS revision for prSUI due to NOMECA yields satisfactory outcomes regardless of the technique used. We observed better functional outcomes when repositioning the new cuff. COMPLETE-CHANGE may improve functional outcomes, explantation-free and reoperation-free survivals. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Self-reported urinary incontinence in women is higher with increased age, lower educational level, lower income, number of comorbidities, and impairment of mental health. Results of a large, population-based, national survey in Portugal
ConclusionUI is highly prevalent among Portuguese women. It increases with age, low education level, and low household income. The use of healthcare resources was higher, possibly related with associated comorbidities. Though obtained in a single European country, these data may be useful to design a comprehensive management of UI in other parts of the western world. (Source: World Journal of Urology)
