New and Emerging Artificial Urinary Sphincters for Male Stress Urinary Incontinence: From Gold Standard to Next Generation

The authors review the evolution of artificial urinary sphincters (AUS) for male stress urinary incontinence, aiming to address the limitations of the longstanding AMS-800 device. They highlight innovations in new AUS designs, such as adjustable pressure systems and electronic controls, while noting that most emerging devices are still in early development stages with limited comparative data. The authors emphasize the need for long-term studies to evaluate whether these advancements lead to improved clinical outcomes.
