While the artificial urinary sphincter is the gold standard for treating male stress urinary incontinence, different dysfunctions can arise during follow-up, necessitating revision surgery. These complications can significantly impact patient quality of life and require specialized management.

This session will focus on the practical management of complications in patients with artificial urinary sphincters, specifically the AMS 800 and Zephyr ZSI375 devices. Drawing on the extensive experience of Fundació Puigvert — one of the pioneering centers in Europe with this technique since the 1980.

Dr. Carlos Errando-Smet will discuss common challenges such as mechanical failure, urethral erosion, infection, and device dysfunction. The presentation will offer troubleshooting strategies grounded in decades of clinical practice and current best standards, providing valuable insights for urologists involved in male continence surgery and artificial sphincter management.
