About this study

The purpose of this study is to create a Mayo Clinic AUS research database with follow-up through 4 months.  To eventually evaluate other risk factors for AUS complications, including prior treatments, comorbidities and obesity.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males who have developed stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following either radical prostatectomy and/or radiation therapy for prostate cancer

  • All patients must be otherwise candidates for the artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) 
  • Must pass preoperative evaluation and have their artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) at Mayo Clinic
